Abstract
Check in the index of a book on cognitive psychology or instructional design and you’re not likely to find an entry for “think.”1 Ask a college science teacher what their goals for students include and you almost always hear “teaching them how to think.” Look up “thinking” in Wikipedia and you find “… allows beings to model the world and to deal with it effectively according to their objectives, plans, ends and desires.” Your dictionary will likely express several different definitions, all of which you’ll have heard and be able to relate to.
