Do you need different thinking capabilities to think different things?

Question

Do you need different thinking capabilities to think different things?

Answer 1

The human mind is capable of conducting several thoughts at once without each thought interfering with the other. Its that we place them in order of importance, so the most important one always appears to be right up front. Think of your thoughts as laid out on a carousel. You rotate the carousel and pick the thought that is most important to you.

Answer 2

no you need different stimuli

Answer 3

Logically speaking yes, if you need algebra answers and you don't know algebra, you can think till the cows come home and won't get the answer(at least probably not by yourself) So this would be classified as a different thinking capability!  Cheers!!

Answer 4

no only focus, or lack thereof.

Answer 5

yes, most certainly. I have many different thinking capabilities that i must use daily

Answer 6

no, any thinking capability can be altered to any task.

Answer 7

Yes. In some cases, lateral thinking helps. In some other cases, deeper analysis is required. In yet other cases, synthesis to get the big picture as a whole is necessary. Unfortunately, these different kinds of thinking ability rarely dwell in the mind of any single individual.
