thinking mechanism works by analysis by synthesis.First, the object is compared with others, and then of the qualities peculiar to him, the new release.In the process of thinking again and again found high-quality communication is exhausted their stock of human knowledge.The synthesis of the key role played by perception.
For centuries, scientists have tried to classify thinking in psychology.
In the historical context of humanity is possessed first practical activity.Thinking skills developed much later.How much less, and in this age of technology highbrow constructive way of thinking is practical.Specifically, an effective type of mental activity is designed to deal with specific tasks and is based on the perception of objects.So think of young children.So they disassembled toys into its component parts.Look for the one who turns the wheels.
thinking in psychology is evident-shaped type of work during the perception of reality.The primitive version of the spatial visualization ability are preschoolers who are not so attracted by the process of disassembly as the magical power of his own imagination.After all, the stock concepts still too small, the term "spatial visualization ability" is often replaced by a logical-symbolic.
verbal and logical thinking in psychology is the interaction between logic and concepts.It is characterized by the ability to know the essential laws without authentic visual connection with reality.
abstract-logical thinking tend to go beyond the border of sensory perception.Because of the characteristics of an object or situation, the subject chooses only important, leaving the minor details and features without proper attention.
Formation of abstract thinking with the aim of mastering the concepts in the learning process takes place in parallel with the improvement of visual-motor, visual-figurative and verbal-logical thinking, because all types - is the successive stages of the development of human thought in the context of phylogeny and ontogeny.
thinking in psychology are distinguished by features:
- critical thinking is aimed at building inferences to adopt fully informed decisions.The man knows how to analyze social phenomena, to work with information, following a precise algorithm:
-
definition of the problem;
-
assessment of the facts, the division and the separation of opinion;
-
account all known evidence;
-
wording output.
Thus, the psychology of critical thinking is the ability to adequately assess the facts, to separate the information from them emotional, to take them as evidence.Since forming his own independent opinion.Note that in the natural order of appearance of new evidence, sometimes change the conclusions and the way to solve the problem;
- creative thinking aimed at discovery of new knowledge, the creation of spiritual values on the basis of their own ideas.Features creative person defines his psychology, thinking that goes beyond the assimilation of concepts, terms, laws.For creativity typical transfer mechanism or the quality of a system or object to another plane, where previously such a combination was not observed.One glance creative person grasps the importance is in the details, or thinking the missing details.
By the nature of the task of thinking can be theoretical or practical:
- the basis of theoretical thinking is the use of rules and laws;
- practical thinking consists of reasoning and judgment, have a proven track record.The task of practical thinking includes transformation of reality by the algorithm: the purpose, plan, project and location.
