Reasoning

Children (WISC-V). The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, visual-spatial processing, reasoning ability, and processing speed. The subtests measured different cognitive processing abilities and when combined form five index scores: Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed, which makes up the Full-Scale IQ score. Devyn obtained a Low Average score of 86 (18th percentile). Her…

Essay 3 Given what we know or can safely assume to be true of animal brains and behaviors, do animals actually exhibit thought and reason? The answer depends in large measure on one’s definition of thought and reason. Philosophers René Descartes and David Hume hold conflicting views about the nature and possession of thought and reason and, as a result, offer starkly different arguments for and against the existence of thought and reason in animals. While Descartes maintains in Part Five…

comprehensive, yet practical approach in formulating a rational solution. This brings us to another controversy regarding rational versus strategic reasoning, (Wit, & Meyer, 2010). Strategic reasoning aligns with logical thinking, therefore viewing a situation in a decisive, fact-oriented manner, (Wit, & Meyer, 2010). Through strategic reasoning, the strategy process is developed from copious amounts of data that is analyzed to isolate the problem, (Wit, & Meyer, 2010). Once identified all…

Nurse educators play a pivotal role in teaching students how to critically think. Critical thinking is one of the most foundational skills in nursing education. It also greatly affects clinical judgement (OERMAN). In the classroom, students are encouraged to critically think by using discussion boards, case studies and written assignments. Discussion boards allow the student to converse about ideas that meet the patient and nursing standards fostering, an arena of higher cognitive thinking.…

The first problem-solving tool that jumped out at me was constructive controversy. Something powerful happens when you bring a situation to your peers and ask them for feedback. The process of stating and defending what your solution is, in my mind, probably the most important thing you can do when finding a resolution. Just the act of supporting your decisions and talking them through shows that you believe in yourself. Also though, if you ask someone for feedback its because you trust them, so…

about right and wrong. With logical reasoning, we are able to use our hard thinking to lead us to making our choice of right from wrong. As individuals we make judgements about different action if whether they’re right or wrong. We don’t just judge something because it needs to be judged. If we judge an action, then there’s a reason for it. Reasons help lead us to determine if something is right or wrong. If we make judgements then they must have good reasoning in order to support and determine…

In the article “In praise of the incomplete leader”, Professor Ancona identified four different managerial capabilities required by leaders to become successful in any business setting (Arcona, Malone, Orlikowski, Senge, 2007). They include: 1- Sensemaking- It is the process through which managers collect data, interpret it, and use it to make sense of all the changes in their surrounding environment. This capability contributes to the organization’s ability to build and sustain a competitive…

requires more thinking and reasoning. In conclusion, people in society are refraining from being enlightened because of the benefit and comfort they carried out by themselves from the attachment of the guardians. The other hidden part of society does not recognize that is being able to be self-reliant is the key to being knowledgeable and growing into a wise individual. It’s relevant today in our daily life, which makes us ponder about who is really determined to utilize reasoning…

function exceeded the linear function, it shall never do so. As anyone knowledgeable in mathematics or aware of the conclusions of the Malthusian model could tell, however, this is certainly not the case. Speculation in the absence of inductive reasoning might lead one away from discovering an imminent disaster, if one is to…

Teaching Strategies for Indirect Instruction The indirect instruction model is defined as a teaching strategy that is designed to teach concepts, patterns, and abstractions with emphasis being on concept learning, inquiry, and problem solving. This type of learning approach is based off the constructivism theory. Teachers that use this method do not provide systematic instruction or sequencing that is organized and provided by the teacher. In this method of teaching, students gain…
