dialectical thought: the ability to reason from multiple perspectives and synthesize various viewpoints in order to come up with new ideas<\/p>\n

dualism: absolute, black and white, right and wrong type of thinking<\/p>\n

multiplicity: recognizing that some problems are solvable and some answers are not yet known<\/p>\n

postformal thought: a more individualistic and realistic type of thinking that occurs after Piaget’s last stage of formal operations<\/p>\n

relativism: understanding the importance of the specific context of knowledge\u2014it’s all relative to other factors<\/p>\n

control beliefs: the belief that an individual can influence life outcomes, encompassing estimations of relevant external constraints and our own capabilities<\/p>\n

crystallized intelligence: knowledge, skills, and experience acquired over a lifetime, accessible via memory and expressible in word\/number form<\/p>\n

fluid intelligence: the ability to recognize patterns and solve problems, irrespective of any past experience of the context in which these patterns or problems arise<\/p>\n

tacit knowledge: pragmatic or practical and learned through experience rather than explicitly taught<\/p>\n

Alzheimer’s disease: an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks<\/p>\n

delirium: an abrupt change in the brain that causes mental confusion and emotional disruption. It makes it difficult to think, remember, sleep, pay attention, and more<\/p>\n

dementia: a cause of neurocognitive disorder, characterized by progressive and gradual cognitive deficits due to severe cerebral atrophy<\/p>\n
