In Search Of The Meaning Of Concrete And Abstract Thinking. by philoedu(m): 4:09pm On Feb 10, 2021
Dear readers, for quite sometimes now, l could not write anything. However, l must thank you all for your time off to read my short articles. Today, l tried to search for the differences between "Concrete and Abstract thinking". As it were, in our every day interaction, we often come to think differently, in relation to an event and things. And in doing so, we either think concretly or in abstract manner.
Concrete thinking tends to refers to thinking in a superficial or surface manner while abstract thinking is related to an in-depth manner. For instance, a person who think in a concrete manner would come across a status and view it without reading any meaning to it and just see for what it is. On the other hand an abstract thinking individual would see it in a figurative manner, reading multiple meaning to it.
Concrete thinker, often look forward to facts, while abstract thinkers look forward to an in-depth or below facts. The same is true, that while mental processing is involved in abstract thinking, but no such effort is required in concrete thinking.
The Concrete thinkers do not think beyond facts because they often lack the ability to think beyond certain limit. The same is true, concrete thinkers tends to generalized concept for things. The abstract thinking individual, on the other hand, often have a specific concept for things and tends to have an understanding of multiple meanings. Therefor, it is clear, that while abstract thinkers are involved with metal processing through ideas, the concrete thinkers tend to look forward to facts and to what come to be seen, without reading any meaning to it.

And this is sometimes called literal thinking, simply because it is the type of reason that focuses on the physical object, immediate to experience, if you like, in a short term instead of a long term experience.
