Forms of abstract thought

Because a person can not "create a wheel" every time, it must systematize the acquired knowledge. Many phenomena are not visible to the human eye, something does not exist at all,

but all this is in human life, so it must have one form or the other. In abstract thought, three forms are distinguished:

A concept - is a thought that transmits a common property which can be traced to different physical entities. They can be different. However, their homogeneity and similarity allows a person

to combine them into one group.

Judgment - people use this form of abstraction when they want to confirm or deny something.

Inference - is a thought that is formed on the basis of two or more judgments, from which a new judgment is formed. In every deduction there are 3 components: a premise (occurrence), a presupposition and a conclusion.

The goals of abstraction are:

Formal (theoretical thinking) - is when a person sees objects based on their external manifestations.

Substantial - is when a person can isolate from a thing or a phenomenon, a property that can exist in itself, be autonomous.

There is an exact, generalized and abstract-logical thought

Accurate thought

Accurate thinking is included when a person has knowledge, information and a clear understanding of what is happening.

Generalized thinking

Generalized thinking is included when a person does not know the exact data, it has no specific information. You can guess, and draw general conclusions. Generalized thinking is abstract thought in simple words.

Abstract-logical thinking

In logical-abstract thinking abstractions are used, units of certain regularities. In other words, a person works with phenomena that can not be "touched", "see through the eyes", "smell". MAQ artists are brilliant representatives of the nominal value of this thought.
