Data driven analysis Drawing inferences based on examination of the intrinsic structure of data. Requires good datasets and straightforward problems. Is logically driven and easily replicated. Conceptually driven analysis Numerous unknowns and undefined variables and relationsships. Often immidiate interpretation of complex concepts. Accuracy driven by mental models and feedback over time. Working memory System that processes inputs and determines whether or not they are important, encoding them for long-term or short-term memory storage Pattern recognition Cognitive process that matches information from external sources to information that is stored in long-term memory. Template matching Every object and experience is processed by brain and stored as a template in long-term memory. When presented with situation, long-term memory is searched for matching template from the past. Prototype matching When presented with situation, long-term memory is searched for AVERAGE or similiar templates reffered as a "prototype". More flexible then template matching and better for working with incomplete information. Top Down Using previous knowledge (could be contextual) to fill in gaps when we do not have complete information. System I thinking Intiutive thinking, fast, effective, often accurate but prone to errors. Draws on available knowledge and experience and existing mental modes. System II thinking "Analyttical thinking". slow, methodical and conscious. Involves analytic processes like scientific method or structured analytical techniques. Mental Models System I thinking.
