How can we improve people s logical thinking skills?

The level of human thinking is determined by the quality of its thinking, including non-intellectual factors! According to the cutting-edge viewpoint of intellectual psychology, the most important thing to improve a person's thinking quality is to improve his metacognitive level - that is, to form a thinking habit that consciously adjusts and controls the thinking process and cognitive strategy according to his own cognitive characteristics!

More popularly, it is to develop a kind of conscious thinking - on the premise of mastering certain cognitive strategies and their own cognitive characteristics, they often consciously "reflect" on the state of their own thinking itself - monitor and adjust, and over time form a habit of subconsciously thinking according to the laws of thinking and cognition and their own cognitive characteristics!

Personally, I tried it and felt that this type of training was really useful, but it had to be consistent and focused! The following is an example of how I reflected on and improved the problems and shortcomings in my overall thinking: (Because I was studying monographs on cognitive psychology and intellectual development at the time of this training, I learned a little more about the vocabulary and terminology in the text, but it was also relatively more accurate in terms of conceptual expression.)

Therefore, it will not be modified, and the full text will be recorded).

Problems in the current thinking.

1. Problems with memory:

1. Due to the inprofound and incomplete observation of the initial information and the thing itself, as well as the inaccuracy and indepth of memory, the thinking premise, existing judgment, and information are often forgotten or grasped inaccurately in the thinking process, resulting in further analysis and reasoning cannot be effective!

2. In ordinary learning, due to the failure to classify and store all kinds of information and knowledge in an orderly manner (short-term memory to long-term memory), and there is no systematic sorting of knowledge on a regular basis, resulting in the instability of knowledge memory and the relative disorder of knowledge storage, which causes the problem information and background knowledge required in the specific thinking process to be unable to be quickly retrieved and effectively activated and used, resulting in the consequences of poor thinking and frequent jamming.

2. Problems in the process and strategy of thinking:

Some of the programmatic strategies of the mind are not well mastered, and the types and quantities of them are insufficient. Specifically, it is manifested in:

1. The mastery of programmatic strategies for certain thinking is far from being achieved"Internalization"Degree: When the problem is beyond the effective scope of empirical thinking, and the intuitive thinking is biased or loses direction, the relevant procedural thinking cannot be activated quickly, and even the problem-solving strategies of the relevant problem situation have not been learned at all, and the thinking cannot be consciously and effectively guided to find a new direction, resulting in thinking jamming and disconnection!

2. Not proficient in mathematics, logic and other thinking tools. It can only analyze problems directly and empirically, and is not good at converting them into mathematical and logical forms for investigation, resulting in many problems that are difficult to solve because they cannot be abstracted and simplified. Many problems cannot be effectively solved because they cannot be quantified and concrete, which makes it difficult to compare and analyze.

For a complex situation, different types can be analyzed in an instant. Read more books, read more clear books, take notes in class, and record the key points in class.

Logic is actually very simple to say, that is, to study the multiple possibilities of the development of things. It is common practice to hypothesize, then reason, then exclude, and then make a choice or answer based on the conclusion.

For example, the question of angels, demons, and people: there is an angel on the road, and a devil is talking with a man. The first one said:

I am not an angel. The second said: I am not the devil.

The third said, "I am not a man." Conditions:

Angels never tell lies; The devil never tells the truth; People may tell the truth or they may tell lies. Q: What is the identity of each of the three of them?

To do this question, we can first grasp the condition that the devil will never tell a lie and make assumptions. Suppose the first one is the devil, then he says: I am not an angel.

That is, the truth is told, which contradicts what is known, so the first one is by no means the devil. In the same way, a third can be launched, and it is definitely not the devil. Then the devil is the second.

Then according to the assumption that angels never tell lies, suppose that the first one is an angel, then he says that I am not an angel or he is lying, which contradicts the known, so the first one is never an angel. We just introduced that the second one is the devil, and according to the method of elimination, then the angel must be the third. According to the method of elimination, it can be concluded that the first person to speak is a person.

The cultivation of logical thinking is not difficult, you can read more books on logical thinking training, which should be sold in big bookstores. You don't have to hold on to the questions that you can't do at the beginning, you can study the answers first, learn the way of thinking of others, and slowly establish logical thinking.

I'm doing physics problems. There is also the exercise of eloquence, so that what you say has a sense of hierarchy Books of course should be read, that is the most basic.
