In intuitive thinking, learners typically focus on one characteristic of someone or something and base their decisions or judgement on that one characteristic rather than considering multiple characteristics. This is called
ALogical thinking
BDe-centering
CCentration ✓ Correct
DNone of the above
Correct answer: (C) Centration — Focusing on a single characteristic and judging by it alone is centration, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Focusing on a single characteristic and judging by it alone is centration, so that is the answer.
★Centration is the tendency to fix on one striking feature and ignore the rest.
★It marks pre-operational, intuitive thinking, where the child cannot yet weigh several features together.
★Logical thinking is the opposite, since it considers many characteristics before judging.
★De-centering is the growth beyond centration, learning to take several features into account at once.
★Since the described one-feature focus is exactly centration, the other choices do not fit.
