The document summarizes a presentation by Group 7 on complex cognitive processes. It discusses different types of thinking including creative thinking, critical thinking, inductive thinking, deductive thinking, strategic thinking, analytical thinking, and lateral thinking. It provides examples to illustrate each type of thinking and links to videos about connecting 9 dots with 3 lines and solving a matchstick puzzle.

4. Creative Thinking
1.A way of thinking that generates
something new or different.
2.It involves having a different idea
that works as well or better than
previous ideas.
3.It is generative and divergent in
nature.
4.Divergent means thinking that
starts from a common point and
moves outward into a variety of
perspectives

5. Critical Thinking
1.A way of thinking that assesses the
worth and validity of something in
existent.
2.It involves precise, persistent and
objective analysis.
3.It is focus and convergent in
nature.
4. Thinking which process

6. Inductive Thinking
1.This is the process of reasoning
from parts to the whole, from
examples to generalizations.
2.Analyzing specific observations to
reach general conclusions.
3.Works from specific observations
to broader generalizations and
theories.
4.Is more open-ended and
exploratory especially at the
beginning.

7. Deductive Thinking
1.This is the process of reasoning
from the whole to its parts, from
generalizations to underlying
concepts to examples.
2.Works from the more general to the
more specific.
3.Is more close-ended especially at
the beginning.

8. Strategic Thinking
1.Can “see” issues, problems and
opportunities in a larger and
broader perspective and being able
to understand the inter-relation of
all the elements involved so that
the best course of action could be
formulated to achieve the desired
goals.

10. Analytical Thinking
1.The abstract separate of a whole
into its constituent parts in order to
study the parts and their relations.
2.Separating and distinguishing
elements of a concept, problem
and issue in order to understand its
essential nature and inner
relationships.

11. Lateral Thinking
1.The concept was introduced by
Edward de Bono in 1967 which
means a way of thinking that
involves multiple parallel approach.
2.An example of “multiple parallel
approach” in thinking is Edward de
Bono’s “Six Thinking Hats”.
