Incredible Brain: How Does It Solve Problems? Is Logic a Natural Process?
Hart, Leslie A.
NASSP Bulletin, v67 n459 p36-41 Jan 1983
Since the brain operates best on multimodal, nonlogical, real-world problems, it may be counterproductive to teach students sequential, logical techniques for solving artificially defined problems. Giving students time to consider and propose solutions for real problems may be a more effective means of helping them learn to think. (PGD)
