What is a potential consequence of failing to apply an essential component in critical thinking?
Producing inferior solutions
Decrements in performance may be produced by failing to apply an essential component (e.g., failing to clarify ambiguous information in a message or failing to consider alternative explanations for a pattern of data), failing to perform accurately a component of the skill, or by lacking sufficient ______ to be processed.
knowledge
One could apply critical thinking and still produce ______ solutions to a task.
inferior
The quality of a solution may also be affected by moderating variables such as educational level and ______.
experience

episode
If the negative consequences are sufficiently strong, they may result in a ______ of the episode.
cessation
Finally, it should be recognized that effective critical thinking depends on gaining insights as well as reducing ______.
mistakes

skill
The quality of a solution produced by the application of a critical thinking skill is likely to be affected by how well the ______ is executed.
skill
Decrements in performance may be produced by failing to apply an essential component (e.g., failing to clarify ambiguous information in a message or failing to consider alternative explanations for a pattern of data), failing to perform accurately a component of the ______, or by lacking sufficient knowledge to be processed.
