How to improve and cultivate logical thinking ability?

Logical thinking ability is by no means innate, but cultivated through continuous learning the day after tomorrow. The only difference is that some people are well-cultivated and some people are poorly cultivated. The following are some methods and skills that I have sorted out according to my own study and experience, which are helpful to cultivate or exercise my logical thinking ability. Interested or needy friends can refer to:

1. Learn to use the logic output mode of "PREP+A";

P (viewpoint, viewpoint/argument), R (reason, reason/basis), E (example, example), P (viewpoint), A (action).

In formal conversations, speeches and copywriting, you can generally follow the following logic/steps:

P: First of all, express your views/arguments/propositions concisely, that is, what you are saying and what you want to express.

R: Secondly, tell the "basis" to support your conclusion, that is, answer what makes you think so, and what facts and explanations are based on?

E: Besides, use practical examples (data, personal examples, etc.). ) to improve the persuasiveness of your conclusions or opinions.

P: Finally, repeat the conclusion and make sure that the information you want to convey has been conveyed.

A: Action is what you want the other person to do (one can be omitted according to actual needs).

Summary: Simply put, this model is to start with the conclusion, then explain the reasons and basis for the conclusion, then cite specific examples to prove it, and finally emphasize the conclusion again.

2. Daily conversation practice

In addition to formal occasions, we can also learn from the logic output mode of "PREP+A" to enhance our logic in daily life. Whether telling others or listening to others, you can deliberately think about "this manuscript": what is the point to be expressed, what is the reason, and what is the situation? This subtle exercise can constantly optimize your logical thinking.

Step 3 Ask yourself questions.

In daily life, whether you see, hear or read some important information or information that touches you, you can exercise your thinking through some deliberate self-questioning. For example, when reading an idea, you can ask yourself: Why did the author cut in from this angle? How did the author come to this conclusion? What are the shortcomings of this conclusion? How can I write better?

4, film carding practice method

Most people prefer watching movies. In this case, we might as well spend a little time combing the plot and main line of the movie after watching it (suspense, science fiction, crime movies or books are better, because they all test your logical thinking). After combing yourself, you can also go online to search for some other people's opinions, make a comparison, and see what omissions you have. Do this often, and your logical thinking and memory will be improved to some extent.

5, logic fun exercises

There are many interesting questions on the Internet to test logical thinking. Doing these questions often can also achieve the purpose of exercising logical thinking. For example, these are:
