Critical Thinking

Specific Abilities underlying Critical Thinking to know and understand Dual Process Theory to recognize distracting stimuli, propaganda, bias, irrelevance to identify, analyze, and challenge assumptions in arguments to be aware of cognitive fallacies and poor reasoning to recognize deception, deliberate or otherwise to assess credibility of information to monitor and control own thought processes to monitor and control own affective state to be aware of the impact of fatigue and sleep deprivation on decision making to be able to imagine and explore alternatives to effectively work through problems to be aware of the importance of the context under which decisions are made to make effective decisions to anticipate the consequences of decisions

‘‘Those who are responsible for teaching students and Those who are responsible for teaching students and residents …should try to identify clearly, separate, residents …should try to identify clearly, separate, and then extract these critically important cognitive and then extract these critically important cognitive

tasks from courses that encompass myriad unrelated tasks from courses that encompass myriad unrelated skills and knowledge..’skills and knowledge..’

‘We really only trust conscious decision making. But there are moments, particularly in times of stress, when haste does not make waste, when our snap judgments and first impressions can offer a much better means of making sense of the world.

The first task of Blink is to convince you of a simple fact: decisions made very quickly can be every bit as good as

decisions made cautiously and deliberately’

‘The technique by which we make good decisions and produce good work is a nuanced and interwoven mental process

involving bits of emotion, observation, intuition, and critical reasoning. The emotion and intuition are the easy, “automatic”

parts, the observation and critical reasoning skills the more difficult, acquired parts. The essential background to all this is a

solid base of knowledge.’
