Mind Mapping - E-book - ePub

The thought is an organized mental activity with a high degreeof freedom, not limited to the physical world. It is an organizedprocess of neural representation that forms a mental model forplanning, defining strategies, forecasts, and troubleshooting. Thisprocess involves the correlation and integration of critical eventsin time and space. The capacity planning, defining strategies and activitiesprogramming permeates virtually all human activities.
At theplanning stage, the individual analyzes possible interpretationsand trends to define the best or most effective course ofaction. In the prediction stage, the individual analyzes a sequence ofevents to anticipate the future; check the logic and consistencyof facts, test hypotheses and to reflect on possible courses ofaction. At this stage, the individual defines a strategy, building aparticular plot and rehearses figuratively (mentally), examiningthe alternatives and options at each stage of the process.
Tosolve problems, the only exercise alternatives, and formal orabstract solutions, analyzing risks and results. Still thinking, individual studies and rationalizes about the originof event sequences of society, the world, and the universe. Thinking is important for communication between individuals, foranalysis of imaginary events and abstraction of the physicalworld. Their nature can be among other analytical, verbal, symbolic orabstract.
Analytical thinking the individual coordinates logicallyrelated mental models to predict or infer a result. In the caseof verbal thought, the individual experiences the thought as iflistening to his voice. Through language, the individual translatesfeelings and stories in words, a semantic and sintáxico context. In symbolic thought, the individual analyzes a formal model asa three-dimensional structure of a protein or a building, at eachpoint assessing the perspective of that target point. The musical thought and relationship between languages areincluded in symbolic thinking category.
Abstract thought is free. Mental models trained in this kind of thinking is disconnectedfrom the physical world and often represent imaginary events, like to imagine an elephant fly. In this kind of thinking, intuitionreplaces logic in the evaluation of the relationship betweenmental models.
