Thinking - is it the Same for everyone?
A systemized order of thoughts (another neurological function that creates the differences in our capacity and ability – through learned or environmentally created aspects of training) Known as Bloom’s Taxonomy is the subject of todays Blog presentation! The idea is the type of thoughts as well as the domain of thought in the human entity – the importance of course is deep when it comes to neurological pathways and learning styles and memory types and personality when the goal is to create or enhance the superpower of thoughts and levels of thoughts. This mandates the domain of thought is the focus for specificity of the intent of the thought process.
Domains of Thinking and thereby learning:
· Cognitive Domain (Knowledge retention and knowledge acquisition, Experiences of Heuristic formations, Socratic Questions for mental acuity and logical development)
· Affective Domain (Feelings and emotional influences, World Paradigm, or type of reasoning with the belief in the feelings a thought or subject or being feels – emotional rationalization or justifications are found here)
· Psychomotor (The physical correlation with movement, sensory acceptance, manual type of skill development)
The next emphasis is on what is called lower order thoughts and higher order thoughts (LOTS and HOTS) The science holds that lower order thoughts are based on memory (keep in mind there are several types of memory be sure to read the blog post on different types of memory too). The higher order or executive functions are determined through different neural initiation and even in varying parts of the brain or regions of the brain.
The depth of how this information can increase personal development and performance enhancement is much more than this particular introduction can allow for – come to stay with us at The American Standard Hotel and talk about how we can assist you in leveling up beyond the platitude but with the actual science and skills and competency necessary.
LOTS – Lower order thoughts (not a great place to dwell when memory is the only activity to assist with the engagement and integration of brain and body)
Lowest first:
1.) Remember (memory – very basic and often can be skewed or not very accurate and dependable)
2.) Understanding (Deals with actual comprehension and not just the basic memory)
3.) Applying (Means that you can actually activate this thought into an action – now the intensity or the competency of the thought or action is measured here as a lower order thought, bear that in mind before you think applying is the stopping point – it is simply the highest of the lower order thoughts – but yes, it is still a lower order thought!
HOTS – The Higher Order Thoughts (where the foundation of understanding the reasoning and application of the process begins to amplify)
Highest level of thought ability is the last one on the list 😊
4.) Analyze (This is where a person can dissect the thought into usefulness for a situation or specificity)
5.) Evaluate (This is where a pragmatic assessment of probability and practicality are formed)
6.) Create (This is where mastery happens – a place where systems or procedures are designed and solutions or answers to objectives are taking place – you implement all the other thoughts and now you can create or build the neural and other domain interests that suit your need or competency level – this in turn allows you to continue to scaffold upward thereby expanding competency and moving from discovery – to development to enhancement!
