1. Cognitive Skill
REASONING

2. Forms of Articulated Knowledge
There are six types of knowledge
Algorithm
Concepts
Directions
Factlets
Generalizations
Strategies

3. Types of Reasoning There are four types of reasoning
Convergent Reasoning
Divergent Reasoning
Deductive Reasoning
Inductive Reasoning

4. Convergent Reasoning Things involved in Convergent reasoning Synthesis
Trial and error
Problem finding and solving
Goal setting
Procedural knowledge

5. Divergent Reasoning Things you can do in divergent reasoning Analysis
Experiment
Problem finding and solving
Brainstorming
Propositional knowledge

6. Deductive Reasoning Moves from general to specific
It is the analogue of divergent reasoning
Usually focuses on hypothesis testing in order to explain a specific case
This type of reasoning is based on prior knowledge

7. Inductive Reasoning Moves from specific to generalizations
It is the analogue of convergent reasoning
Involves theory building based from isolated incidents, ie. Fords are lemons because the number six piston blows through the hood

8. Procedural Knowledge Follows this order: Directions Algorithms
Strategies

9. Propositional Knowledge
Includes:
Factlets
Organized facts
Concepts and generalizations

10. Integrating Knowledge
Procedural knowledge (Episodic Memory)
Constructing models
Shaping
Internalizing
Propositional Knowledge (Semantic Memory)
Constructing meaning
Organizing
Relating
