According to Dewey Thought

DEWEY BY THINKING

Thought Dewey signs up for a relationship between what we know, our memories and what we perceive. With this trilogy give meaning to things, we, we infer beyond is given to us and that is the product "thinking?. The inference is via the Tip of everything you see and remember, this sequence of ideas is the thought. Dewey this process based on two basic and innate resources: curiosity and spontaneous suggestion or ideas. The thought must lead some goal: an action, a result.

Dewey argues that the result requires reflective thinking, that is, bring order to the succession of ideas, which should not be a simple concatenation of ideas in relations consequences, but putting some order to promote a thought directed toward some goal. Sustaining the relationship between thought and rationality driving just that reflective thinking through careful comparison and balancing of evidence and suggestions with an assessment process that takes place to arrive at more accurate detect relationships that allow relations, rationality thus can not be left alone in the observation but must search the area, inspect, investigate and examine the accuracy. An idea is a plan of action that has a constructive role, because the ideas come to solve problems, accepting as true among the most successful ideas. The rationality of Dewey's thought is related to the idea of ​​reflective method (logical competence) by introducing empirical knowledge that leads to a goal from the initiative, spontaneity, work and responsibility. This construction leads to something to do as a result, facing a mental difficulty in five phases: 1) development of suggestions, 2) intellectualization of the difficulty, 3) developing hypotheses, 4) reasoning and 5) testing of hypotheses.

Thus the rationality of reflective thinking: action enables a conscious goal, b) enables systematic and enrich the invention further things with meaning. The text mentions the relationship between thought and rationality as a method? It's probably a good thought when the subject has caring attitude, intensity, etc.?. Although it deviates from the formal logic with reference to the real thought that occurs in a context that this logic does not take into account. "Rationality is lead to operational harmony among diverse desires. Rationality implies a review of knowledge based on critical analysis, debate, and argument, to Dewey's reflective thinking rationality is the ability to learn, evolve over time. The rationale for Dewey is the correspondence between ends and means. The thought is not a conglomerate of sensory impressions, or the manufacture of something called "consciousness?, much less a manifestation of an" absolute Spirit?, but a mediating role and instruments that had evolved to serve the interests of survival and well-being. This theory of knowledge stresses the "need to check the thinking through the action if it is to become knowledge?.

Thought is a man's instrument to learn. Dewey ultimately seeks to apply the rational in the everyday in society through reflective inquiry. Dewey instrumented descriptive and explanatory models, because they understand the reflection in a natural process, but most prescriptive.

Emotion is a factor of our cognitive system so that problems such as marital relationship can not be reduced to the study logicomatemático or type of mental representations. In this definition: emotions should be considered as multifactorial complex phenomena that include, among others the following aspects: a cognitive assessment (would this correspondence to description of the situation?) Situation-assessment; a very diverse set of physiological changes - mainly related to the autonomic nervous system-, Is this not comparable with the specification of the situation? a series of behaviors manifest or visible expressions, gestures, facial expressions, a motivational component that is reflected in an intention or tendency to action And this would not be a description of the resources you can use or not to reach a goal? And a subjective-experiential or hedonic feeling-aspect of emotion.

Scientific concepts are, by definition, a logical structure most of them are very marked the relational nature, meaning that the core concept or sense of what your attributes determines relevant. And now it is found that most of the people have a misconception or diverted from many scientific phenomena and that this concept fits in part to the demands of probabilistic theories, perhaps it can be argued that well-defined scientific concepts do not represent the way people tend to conceptualize the world. And maybe because it did not get satisfactory answers in the discussions and spoke so freely of experience, thought in relation to feeling, or being or not being. I found my gap went back to reread my notes of Cognition and Emotion in the two basic emotions of the individual (approach / flight) are not regulated from these theories where daily life is quite neglected or defined as "ill-defined? because it is ignoring the role of emotion (more archaic cognitive process in human evolution and has made possible the survival of the species) at the time of search, explore and act on solving problems, or maybe you do incur in the most common mistakes of deductive thinking, formal logic, probabilistic or any other strategy to solve problems.

I still think that is the provision of interpretation and meaning that makes possible scenarios and a relationship between previous experience and knowledge that enables us to reach possible solutions or as the most successful module. Although this may, however scientific tests have been his scientific conclusions as that the earth was flat and then round.

The mastery of content I think it was satisfactory from the understanding of the various models as explanatory, prescriptive and normative, how we form concepts and problems of the various theories and as a function of the classification are not able to give an explanation of how we form concepts. Deductive reasoning from natural logic which holds the mind's innate ability to perform the tasks of certain inference rules - that is, competition - mental models in which the argument is made by representations that may result from the perception and from the language. The development and testing of hypotheses: analogy as a model of scientific thinking, implicit theories and theories of representational redescription, hypothesis testing for the acquisition of concepts and as we continue to see that even scientists see their task as more confirmation that the falsification of hypotheses. In judgments of probability and its decision-making heuristics and biases (anchoring, illusory correlations), accessibility of information. How from the everyday reasoning and formal structures share equivalents, or from informal reasoning we solve ill-defined problems and decision making under uncertainty.

Finally the thought out of context, in context and creativity, differing in the normative approach of methodological individualism first closed and experimental character to move to present current thinking Psychology where feedback methods, construction, cooperation and motivation , cultural, symbolic, wishful thinking, narrative form the new tools now.

Reflection has been since at all times, from how ideas arise and how they are mediated by our context, as they develop, what is your process. And above all we have learned the hilarity that goes from the concepts and their combinations expressed through language, the direct influence on the thinking and as you get to the acts. The discussions that we have developed are an expression of rationality, how and from where they argue our knowledge, our experiences and how we looked, worked to give not only our perspective but overlapping working with the theories that we have handled in the half. This dynamic of our cognitive processing order and sequence of logical rules, deductions, and strategies and make mistakes. This has enriched the thought. Knowing that memory is not exactly reproduce our previous experience or knowledge and that based on new realities reproduce this knowledge, beliefs and assumptions have refuted or changed. Our ideas based on those reflections that others give us and participate in building their own.

I keep in my thinking about the duality of the innate and learned, all human beings (in the context in which they are located) are involved in innate potentiality developed based on the adaptive needs of their environment. And there begins learning to use the resources at its disposal - including those who interact with others to provide solutions to the problems it will pose (both in everyday and scientific), especially in the creative thinking required some skills and ability to work without creative thinking is not possible. Talent and training are not mutually exclusive but both of great need. Creative thinking leads to new experiences, some more developed than others because of cultural and genetic factors, among others, to act the way they relate the same experiences with prior knowledge and find new solutions to the difficulties encountered, and in conjunction with critical thinking, which complements the right cerebral hemisphere. In this thought influence aspects of creativity, which you can learn, develop and depends on the level of importance assigned to each his thoughts expanded James O.

Whittaker?.

You can learn to think creatively and to incorporate innovation processes. One of the most important is changing the role of instructor, teacher, teacher and only knowing the subject. Thus the creative capacity depends not on how creative people are, but the conditions that the "Guides? created to promote the innovative spirit of its people. giving confidence to the cognitive preferences of people, changing forever the way we think and behave, motivating and emotional attention to a relationship through communication. Relativizing the capacity and capability of the rules and regulations. No opposing thoughts or reflective reasoning of the other but incorporating, collecting them and turning, creativity includes ideas and reformulate it as an expectation not at risk, the errors should serve us to restart the reflection process, create new hypotheses, share the imagination , intuition, logic, aesthetic sense. You need a rich environment that stimulates creative thinking, which seems to be essential. It is important to keep the spontaneity, recognize the creative efforts and strengthen the creative capacity.

Barron (1969) notes that "the creative process includes a constant dialectic between integration and growth, convergence and divergence, Texts and antithesis."

In "Creativity and Cognition: Producing Effective Novelty?, Arthur J. Cropley (1999) mentions several experts to explain two contrasting creative thinking strategies. The first is Guilford, who argues that creative thinking is divergent, ie, producing variability (involves producing multiple answers possible new information available) . In contrast, the singularity produces convergent thinking (only for the most correct answer.) Bartlett, meanwhile, believes that thought can be opened or closed. In turn, the Gestalt philosophy, identifies the reproductive and productive thinking. In Bono states that thought can be linear or lateral. On the other hand, classifies Rothenburg thought a "Janusian?, this work is related to two issues simultaneously, also called" thought homoespacial?, which binds two apparently conflicting ideas, or that exclude each other, to produce novelty.

Human thought is in my opinion a whole that although parts can be analyzed in an experimental work on a set of processes that separate, unrelated not have capacity to create. This I say from the perception that I have in many of the courses that we offer analysis of the parts, and I have the feeling academic (necessary but not sufficient) to be contemplating images of a human being lame or invalidated some features that are stigmatized as difficult to control and therefore unscientific (but the love and fear are emotions that condition us even in the most experimental situations, and even affection as we have seen involves an enhancer element of creativity, reflection and rationality. And the flight even gives us personal constructions such as learned helplessness? and then it becomes an "obstacle thinking? of our rationality. How useful is to know!

Reflective thinking occurs when we check the validity, rationality, something we're trying, that is to prove its veracity. Except in the probability judgments modules and scenario, where one takes for good rules to follow to reach all these concepts has been a continuous reflection, and watch as reflect on the reason for the errors with the theories of Tversky and Kahneman on heuristics of representativeness and accessibility, has been refreshing, repositions the concepts of formal logic as a filter and invites reflection from any perspective, that if, with an orderly and hard work.
