The child thinks in vague, indefinite wholes, while the adult thinks in clear, definite parts. The child discriminates very imperfectly while the adult discriminates accurately. The sensation seems to be the connecting link between the feeling mind and the knowing mind, while the percept links together the knowing mind and the thinking mind. (9) Conception is the process of thinking many notions into one class. The product of such a process is a concept. The concept stands for groups of all kinds of objects. Conception has the two aspects of _affirming connections_ and of _building many into one_. The first is the thinking side of the process and the second is the mark which distinguishes conception from the other thought processes. (10) Judging is the process of conjoining or disjoining notions. Judgment is the product of judging. Judgments conjoin and disjoin all kinds of notions. Judging and thinking, though they closely resemble each other, are not synonomous terms. Thinking is a broader term in that connections may be established between a notion and a name for that notion. Judging is the most fundamental of all thinking, as the concept is built from a series of judgments and an inference is simply a made-over judgment. (11) Inference. Reasoning is the process of deriving a new judgment from a consideration of antecedent judgments. This derived judgment may be called an inference. Sometimes the term inference denotes the process of reasoning as well as the product. Reasoning often takes the form of a syllogism. The concept, the judgment and the inference are _products_ arising from conjoining and disjoining notions. (12) Some give to the thinking mind the three aspects, apprehension, judging and reasoning. Apprehension is another word for the two processes, perception and conception. (13) The three important stages in thinking are discrimination, comparison, integration; or analysis, comparison and synthesis. =16. REVIEW QUESTIONS.= (1) Show the difference between the knowing mind and the thinking mind. (2) Describe the process known as intuition. (3) What is intuitive knowledge? (4) Is the assumption that _think_ comes from the same root as _thick_ a feasible one? Explain. (5) Define thinking in at least two ways. (6) “Inability to think is due to inability to note connections.” Show this by making use of some problem in arithmetic. (7) Distinguish between individual and general notions. (8) Which is the broader term, object or thing? Explain. (9) What kind of notions only admit of subdivisions? Illustrate. (10) What is the difference between knowledge and notions? Explain. (11) Explain and illustrate the meaning of idea. (12) Classify the various activities of the knowing mind and define each. (13) Explain by definition and illustration the products of the knowing mind.
