This research monograph describes a new approach to the measurement
of thinking processes. The author begins with a discussion of the
logic of thought versus the psychology of thinking. Traditionally,
thinking has been defined in terms of the logical thought processes
which lead to warranted conclusions. The psychological processes,
on the other hand, involve the individual's perceptions, intentions
and information-processing strategies. Traditional logical
approaches appear to be most suitable for analysis of thinking in
"formal" highly structured problem situations. Current tests of
critical thinking reflect the "logical" approaches to measuring
thinking; two tests of this type are evaluated by the author. The
authors define the information-processing approach to measurement
of thinking, which emphasizes the way situational information is
perceived, selected, organized and interpreted. Using this
approach, the authors have developed two interpretive exercises,
The Holocaust and The Bomb Factories. The results of a number of
studies conducted with these exercises are presented, and future
work is projected.
