- Thinking: process of using one’s mind to consider or reason about something
- Critical thinking: objective analysis & evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgement (informed decision)
Neither of these cognitive activities requires act of writing or oral argument. Both are symbolic abstraction/form/means of expressing or representing thoughts that are invisible & inaccessible to others( symbolize your thoughts to anyone who is not you, as we don’t have ability to mind read)
