How to improve abstract thinking

1. Read more: Why is reading a book better than watching TV? Because images are more concrete than words, the process of reading can exercise our abstraction and imagination abilities, and your brain will be full when you look at the pictures, so abstraction and imagination are less needed. This is also the reason why we do not encourage children to watch TV or play with mobile phones too much, because it is not conducive to exercising their abstract thinking. The difference in abstract thinking makes the children's academic performance differentiated from junior high school. Many children who cannot adapt to this abstract level of training may choose to go to vocational technical schools because it is more concrete than colleges-turning, milling, parts and components All things can be seen and touched.
2. Summarize more: When we were young, we might not understand why the Chinese teacher always asked us to summarize the main idea of ​​the paragraph. Looking back now, this kind of thinking training is very necessary in basic education, and its essence is to help students improve their abstract thinking ability. The best way to summarize is to write an article, as small as a blog post or as large as a book. It is an opportunity to exercise your abstract and structured thinking. Recording is also a very good summary habit. It is best not to extract the contents of the book in the original text, but to summarize and summarize in your own words. This will not only deepen your understanding, but also improve your abstract thinking ability. The real world is complex and complicated, and only people with strong abstraction ability can see the essence of things clearly.
3. For technical personnel, there is also a very good means to improve abstraction capabilities-domain modeling. When we analyze, organize and abstract the problem domain, and when we divide and model the domain, we are actually exercising our abstraction ability.
