What is concrete thinking?
Specific thinking in its most literal form would be to think about things that poured on the sidewalks. This is something joke, but it illustrates the nature of thinking in a specific term. The idea of "concrete" means literal, right now and immediate, and yet a person who sees the world only in a specific term would probably have difficulty understanding the abstract nature of its definition. In fact, specific and abstract are often contrasted to each other, where abstract thinking is based on the idea, can move to skillful definitions, and will probably be able to understand conceptual knowledge that exists outside the moment. This is easily illustrated in infants. If a child plays with a toy and a toy is suddenly covered with a blanket, the child probably thinks that the toy is gone: out of sight, out of mind. It takes a while for the child to realize that the toy is stable, if not visible, and that is the beginning of the ability to think abstractly.
Yet most children will not be particularly abstract inHis thinking for many years and will literally look literally. As they age, they develop different levels of devices for abstract thinkers, and some become very qualified in conceptualization, while others retain more specific thinking.
While most people have the ability to think specifically and abstractly, there are certain circumstances where the device to think that it is specific. Some mental disorders are characterized by the inability of a person to demonstrate specific thinking and seeing things from a literal perspective. This is true of any mental illness that causes delusions such as schizophrenia. Occasionally, these delusions create an almost completely abstract world with which brushes are rare or difficult. Given the drug, many people are able to return to more specific ways of thinking, but although fully deceptive, it may be deeply difficult to interpret human thoughts; they reach too far fromconcrete.
Similarly, conditions such as dementia can cause an abstract period where it is the ability to think in a specific way. Alternatively, some people are unable to develop abstract thinking due to insufficient brain development or lose this device due to illness or brain injury. They can remain in a specific state of thinking and will not be able to think abstractly. There are psychological tests that can assess the ability of abstract and specific thinking that could be used to determine certain conditions or treatment. Nevertheless, leaning on to a more abstract or specific style of thinking is not unusual in itself.
