This document discusses critical thinking in the digital age. It begins by outlining the origins of critical thinking in Socratic dialogue and defines it as rational, reflective thought aimed at decision making. It describes two types of thinking - intuitive thinking suited for hostile environments and critical thinking suited for benign environments. It uses the metaphor of an elephant (instinctive thinking) and its rider (rational thinking) to represent how our minds work. The document then discusses how digital tools have impacted daily life and the importance of developing digital skills and citizenship through critical thinking. It provides recommendations for developing critical thinking at both the individual and institutional levels.
Imagination is the ability to form new images and sensations in the mind that are not based on sensory perceptions. It helps solve problems by allowing knowledge to be applied in new ways, and is fundamental to learning. Imagination involves inventing scenarios within the mind by combining elements from sensory experiences. Memory and imagination are linked, as remembering and imagining activate the same brain regions. Imagination differs from belief in that imagined scenarios are understood to not affect real actions, while beliefs shape how one understands and acts in reality. The brain regions involved in imagination include visual processing areas as well as areas involved in complex thinking and problem solving.
Computational imagination aims to model human imagination by creating artificial agents with intelligence, emotions, and imagination. Imagination is a process of forming semantically linked mental images influenced by perceptions, emotions, context, and prior knowledge. It can be formally represented using visual and linguistic means. Applications could include helping people learn from experience, assisting motor skill learning, aiding older adults' memory, better predicting behavior, and disaster preparation.
Individuals often do not know their own mind. Most thinking is automatic and frequently unchecked. During waking hours, the separation between mind and consciousness is not often discernible. The character of consciousness makes the mind both simple and complex at the same time. Simple in that if a person has awareness, they are in charge of what they are thinking, feeling, and doing. Complex in that seeming awareness is often compromised, clouded by an unconscious (subconscious) mind.
Bradford 213 short lecture 4 social cognitionJohn Bradford
This document discusses types of thinking and models of consciousness. It describes controlled vs automatic thinking and defines schemas and priming. It contrasts the Freudian view of the unconscious, which involves repressed memories, with the cognitive view of the unconscious involving mental processes that influence behavior outside of awareness. Evidence from studies on readiness potentials and subjective relocation in time suggest that consciousness does not initiate actions but rather rationalizes decisions after the fact and projects awareness backward in time.
Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of the mind and its processes. It includes psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and other fields. The document provides an overview of the key topics in cognitive science, including knowledge representation, language, learning, thinking, and perception. It also discusses different approaches like symbolic and connectionist computational cognitive science. The goal of cognitive science is to understand how the mind works by studying representations and processes through various methods like computational modeling.
Spiritual Development and the Polarities of TypeKartik Subbarao
The lessons of meditation and psychological type theory reinforce each other in fundamental ways. Meditation can be thought of as an exercise in expanding awareness. When we notice that our mind has taken on the narrow form of a train of thought, we gently reach out beyond that form, reconnecting to the intention with which we began our meditation. As we practice reaching out again and again, our available mental space expands. In our daily activities, we become able to embrace the polarities of type more fully. If we feel stuck in the perspective of a particular cognitive function, we can reach out beyond its boundaries to one of its opposing functions and reconnect with a broader whole. Even if some polarities are more challenging than others, the net effect of this mental crosstraining is to maintain both spaciousness and groundedness, from which we can act more clearly and to which we can surrender more deeply.
The document is a thesis submitted for a Master's degree that examines how the mind can act as either a barrier or doorway to higher consciousness. It discusses Edgar Cayce's view of the mind as having three layers - the conscious, subconscious, and superconscious. The conscious mind operates in the physical world, while the superconscious connects to higher realms, and the subconscious acts as a bridge between the two. However, the subconscious often functions as a "malefactor" that creates a disconnect from the true self through feelings of isolation. The challenge is to unlock the subconscious and use the mind to reconnect to higher consciousness.
This chapter discusses subjectivism as an alternative to objectivism for providing a theoretical foundation for information management. Subjectivism focuses on human sense-making and interpretation rather than objective truths. The chapter argues that subjectivism fails to address economic value, a key concern for organizations. It suggests combining objectivism and subjectivism into an integrated approach. Subjectivism is illustrated using practice-based social theories, which view social practices as transcending the divide between objectivism and subjectivism. However, differences between the two philosophies remain fundamental.

The original meaning of Old English gemynd was the faculty of memory, not of thought in general. Hence call to mind, come to mind, keep in mind, to have mind of, etc. The word retains this sense in Scotland.[1] Old English had other words to express "mind", such as hyge "mind, spirit".[2]
The document discusses artificial intelligence and its capabilities compared to human abilities. It argues that AI cannot replace three key human abilities: empathy, leadership, and creativity. While AI can perform communication tasks, humans have advantages in emotional communication and understanding. The document also discusses how AI may replace some economic and management roles but cannot match advanced human skills like leading groups, counseling others, and innovating with new ideas. It reviews literature on defining thinking and the limits of machine capabilities.

The document discusses several ideas in cognitive sciences including embodied cognition, extended cognition, situated cognition, and enactive cognition. It notes that cognitive sciences encompass multiple disciplines including neuroscience, AI, experimental psychology, and more. It also discusses theories that cognition is embodied, situated in the environment, extended across objects, and enactive through sensorimotor engagement with the world rather than representational.
The document discusses perception and how it relates to optical illusions. It provides definitions of perception as the process by which sensory information is organized and interpreted by the brain. It describes the three steps of perception - selection, organization, and interpretation. It discusses how perception is shaped by individual factors rather than objectively reflecting reality. Our perception can be influenced by optical illusions and differs from how things actually are in the world.
This document discusses the idea that natural minds are information-processing virtual machines that have been produced by evolution. It argues that to truly understand natural minds, we need to describe them with sufficient precision to enable the design of artificial minds. The key challenges are determining what concepts to use in theories of the mind and deciding whether producing artificial minds similar to natural ones will require new computing machinery. The document also discusses how virtual machines in computers can have causal powers and how psychotherapy can be viewed as debugging the "virtual machine" of the mind.
This document summarizes a research article about the mental capacities of newborn infants. It argues that while newborns appear helpless, research shows they have an integrated consciousness and can engage in synchronized interactions with caregivers. This suggests newborns have intersubjective minds, emotions, and motives for social engagement. The study of infant cognition required moving beyond theories of the mind as developing through experience and language alone, to recognize innate capacities for shared intentionality and cultural learning from birth.
Psychological disorders are defined as behavior patterns that cause inability to function properly in life. The document focuses on attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as one of the most studied and frequently diagnosed disorders, especially in children, which causes issues with attention, behavior control, and hyperactivity. Clarifying what ADHD is important because there is misunderstanding about the disorder in communities and society, with some not believing it is real.

The poem dramatizes the conflict between losing someone's unique personality through death versus the magic within our own worlds. When someone dies, their personality that cannot be replicated by anyone else is lost forever. Imitators and descendants are not the same as the original person. The main theme is that one's personality cannot be remade by someone else after death, as memories are all that remain of who they were.

The document discusses several key aspects of the Cognitive School of strategy formation:
1. Cognition refers to processes like thinking, learning, judging, problem solving, and memory. The Cognitive School views strategy formation as a cognitive process that occurs in the mind of the strategist.
2. Strategists perceive and interpret the objective environment through "distorting filters" like concepts, maps, and schemas formed by their own cognition. This leads to different perceived environments across strategists and organizations.
3. The Cognitive School premises that strategies emerge from a strategist's perspectives and are difficult to obtain, optimize, and change due to the subjective nature of human cognition. Strategies depend on individual cognitive capabilities.

The document discusses the benefits of adopting electronic health records (EHRs) in healthcare facilities. It distinguishes between "hard" benefits that are directly quantifiable, such as cost savings, and "soft" benefits that are indirect and more difficult to quantify, such as improved quality of care. The summary discusses how a study found that healthcare practices recovered the costs of implementing EHRs within 2.5 years on average and then realized $23,000 per employee annually in net benefits, much of which came from efficiency gains and increased revenue from more accurate billing. The summary concludes that while soft benefits are hard to quantify, they can significantly improve healthcare over the long run by transforming organizations and facilitating higher quality care through use of clinical
This document discusses how human decision making is influenced by social and unconscious factors outside of our direct control, and proposes ways to promote safety by grappling with these human dimensions. It advocates humanizing and respecting workers to establish a proactive safety culture where workers feel valued and empowered. Specific techniques mentioned include using a modified "Swiss cheese model" to focus workers' consciousness on risks and consciously controlling them through simple questions. The overall message is that mature safety requires understanding human psychology and social influences on behavior.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

3. Origin of the concept
I know that I know nothing
The origin of critical Thinking can be identified in the Socratic method described by Plato, for
example, in the Theaetetus. This method, which makes use of the dialogue between teacher
and student, consists in helping the student to reason correctly, to identify his own point of
view and to recognize its fallibility.
In this way the teacher helps the pupil to recognize that his own truth is only an opinion that
must be verified.
“
“
Socrates
4. Maieutic
Method
In the Socratic maieutics he compares the
philosopher to the "midwife of knowledge" which
does not fill the mind of the student with
information imparted a priori, but helps him
gradually bring his knowledge to light, using
dialogue as a dialectical tool. The Socratic
method "forces" the interlocutor to have to
refute himself
5. Definition of Critical Thinking
Robert H. Ennis defined critical thinking as "a rational and reflective thought focused on
deciding what to think or do".
“
“
Robert H. Ennis
6. Two
types of
thinking
In recent decades cognitive psychology has made it clear that it is impossible to
adopt an exclusively rational thought because the human mind has incorporated,
during evolution, a series of intuitive behaviors that have allowed homo sapiens to
survive in hostile environments by taking heuristic decisions.
Today the human being is immersed in a less hostile environment from the
physical point of view (personal safety is protected by laws in a large part of the
world and wild animals are found only in natural parks), but more hostile from the
psychic point of view (information overload and media manipulation are now the
basis of everyday life). It therefore becomes important to know the functioning of
both mental systems (rational and intuitive) that govern our mind. One of the most
important psychologists who have studied the differences between rational
thought and intuitive thinking is Daniel Kahneman.

8. The Elephant and
the Rider
A metaphor that attempts to represent our interiority
on a symbolic level has been transmitted by the
Buddha.
The Buddha compared the interiority of the human
being to the couple made up of a wild elephant and
its bearer.
The brain has two independent systems at work at
all times. First, there’s what we call the emotional
side. It’s the part of you that is instinctive, that feels
pain and pleasure. Second, there’s the rational side,
also known as the reflective or conscious system.
It’s the part of you that deliberates and analyzes and
looks into the future*.
Dan Heath and Chip Heath
*Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard
9. The
Elephant
and the
Rider
The Rider holds the reins, and pulling
them tells the elephant to turn around,
stop or continue. Normally the Rider
directs things, but only as long as the
elephant does not manifest his own
desires: when the elephant really wants
to do something, the bearer can do
nothing but be carried around by the
elephant.
Under ordinary conditions the Rider is
very far from taming the large elephant
he is sitting on.
Conscious and controlled thinking often
has the impression of directing the
elephant with will, but in reality, it has
been seen that most of the time the
opposite occurs.
The elephant feels, the Rider justifies
The Rider
The elephant represents our
evolutionarily oldest part. W can call it
"primitive", instinctive.
The immediate little pleasure is
available immediately. The danger to
be avoided (real or imaginary) must
be faced immediately because it can
potentially compromise survival.
The great future pleasure is a
hypothesis, a promise of the bearer, it
is not certain that there will be. The
elephant does not have this
connection with the future, its
reactions are immediate and
instinctive.

The Elephant
10. The Elephant and
the Rider
• The elephant and the driver should be seen as an
inseparable whole, they are a couple that travels
together. The bearer cannot leave the elephant,
he can only direct him.
• The bearer, in this couple, is indispensable
because he has the ability to plan: he has a long-
term vision, he sees and analyzes obstacles, he
can recognize and manage a situation from many
points of view. Its function is therefore
fundamental to send the elephant in the correct
direction.
• At the same time it has a tendency to get lost in
the details, so it could stand still and not act for a
long time until it has a sufficient clarity of the
situation.
• He also has limited control, he can give the
direction, but to go in that direction he has to
move the elephant.
11. Definition
Critical thinking consists in knowing how to analyze information, situations and
experiences in an objective way, distinguishing reality from one's own subjective
impressions and prejudices, it means recognizing the factors that influence one's own
and others' thoughts and behaviors and therefore helps to remain clear in the choices.
It is the ability to examine a situation and to take a personal position on it. This capacity
constitutes the foundation of a responsible attitude towards experiences and relatively
autonomous with respect to environmental conditioning

15. Digital citizenship
The development of full digital citizenship
also and above all depends on the ability of
students to appropriate digital media,
moving from passive consumers to critical
consumers and producers responsible for
content and new architectures

Critical thinking: it is a necessary
condition to "govern" technological change
and to direct it towards sustainable goals
for our society.
Responsibility: because digital media, in
their characteristic of devices not only for
fruition but also for the production and
publication of messages, attract those who
use them to consider the effects of what
they are doing through

level
• Digicom frame Network promoted by the European Parliament, where 21
digital skills are classified into 5 groups, with exhaustive descriptors and a
precise evaluation framework, which can represent a valid point of reference to
"hook" the attempt to bring digital civic education to school clarifying common
goals.

18. Computational Thinking
Computational Thinking and Critical
Thinking
Computational thinking is essentially critical thinking; that is, it teaches us not to stop at the
appearance of the phenomena we encounter but forces us to ask ourselves what is "behind", what
hidden but founding processes produce what we freely and comfortably exploit. Because a
conscious use of what comes to us as a ready effect starts from an indispensable knowledge of
the causes.
