4.  Operates fast
 Can be used when theory to solve
problem is not available
 Trained automatically when tasks
done repeatedly

5.  Bad for deductive problem solving
 May give you wrong answers when the
problem changes
 Requires repeated exposure
 Doesn’t always provide us with
conscious insight

6.  Handles problems where multiple logical
deductive steps are necessary
 Lets you leverage the research and thinking
of others
 Allows you to develop theories of your own
 Lets you compare the advantages and
disadvantages of multiple possible methods
 Produces reasoning that can be
communicated to others

8.  Takes work, skill, self correction, good
habits of mind, knowledge about
potential pitfalls, and practice
