TYPES OF THINKING
![Page 7: cognitive functions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070520/58f190ed1a28ab9d5a8b4595/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Perceptual or Concrete Thinking
It is based on perception.
Perception is the process of interpretation of
sensation according to one’s experience.
It is also called concrete thinking as it is carried
over the perception of actual or concrete & events.
![Page 8: cognitive functions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070520/58f190ed1a28ab9d5a8b4595/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Conceptual or Abstract Thinking
It does not require the perception of actual objects or
events.
It is also called abstract thinking as it makes the use of
concepts or abstract ideas.
It is superior to perceptual thinking's as it economizes
efforts in understanding & helps in discovery & invention
Language plays an important part in conceptual thinking.

Non–Directed or Associative Thinking
It is essentially a directed thinking which pertains to
reasoning and problem solving procedures aimed at
meeting specific goals.
However, there are times when we find ourselves
engaged in a unique type of thinking which is non-
directed and without goal .
