The various element involved in the thinking process may be summarized as under. In the process of thinking we usually rely on these elements or tools.
Images:
Images, as mind pictures, consist of personal experiences of objects, persons or scenes once actually seen, heard or felt. These mind pictures symbolize the actual objects, experiences and activities. In thinking, we usually manipulate the images instead of actual objects, experiences or activities.
Concepts:
A concept is a ‘general idea’ that stands for a general class will represent the common property of all the objects, or events of this general class. The concepts as a tool economize our efforts in thinking. For example when we listen to the word ‘elephant’ we are at once reminded not only about the nature and qualities of the elephants as a class built also our particular experience and understanding about them emerge from our consciousness that stimulate our present thinking.
