The Thinking function involves process and troubleshooting:1. Interpretation Problems: Known also by defining the problem by
way of creative thinking
2. Problem Solving Strategy: Make a selection of the best
problem-solving strategies some problem-solving strategies are
often used in:
- Trial and error it took a long time (Sort Term Memory). Trial and
error is to try to resolve if one tried to repeat it will know where
the fault lies.
- Informational Retrieval retrieve the information for solving
problems quickly (Long Term Memory)
- Algorithm is a problem-solving method that guarantees a
solution if the problem of available opportunities requires
someones help to develop it.
- Heuristic is what helps to simplify the problem, influenced by
past experience. There are four types of heuristic methods; these
are:
1. Hill Climbing
A heuristic strategy in which each step is concern to move closer
to its final destination.
2. Sub goals
Method of solving a problem by making it smaller or in pieces,
everywhere respective aims to simplify the solution
3. Mean and Analysis
A heuristic strategy that will target to reduce differences between
the situations with the desired objectives through the
intermediary of a way.
4. Working Backward
A heuristic strategy where we have to move backwards from our
goal in some circumstances
ideal standard. They begin to prepare for the possibilities for the
future and in awe of what they can do. In solving the problem, the
formal operational thinker is more systematically developed in
means hypotheses about why things happen like that, and then
test this hypothesis by way of deductive reasoning.
Thinking is known as an activity that resulted in the
discovery of the human person in relative direction to a
destination. We think to find the knowledge and understanding
that we want.
Thinking is the main thing that distinguishes between humans
and animals. Humans may think because human whereas animals
do not have the language.
Animal language is an instinct that does not need to be studied
and taught, while human language is the result of culture that
must be learned and taught.
Disadvantages of the animal are that they do not know the words
to issue with their mind. With language, humans can give names
to everything, whether visible or invisible. All objects, jobs, and
other abstracts, are named.
That way, everything that has ever observed and experienced can
be saved, via responses and experiences, then processed or
thought about into insights.
In everyday life, it is easy once observed that thinking is a
process which has originated from the mind, then set out in the
talk, there appeared many effects both positive and negative.
So, the truth of a language does not solely lie in the composition
of grammatical language alone, but also on governance thought,
intention, and the implications that arise from an utterance. The
idea is not simply embodied by one word only, but requires a form
