Concrete thinking, an impaired ability to think abstractly resulting in interpreting or perceiving things in a literal manner, is evident in many patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. People who think concretely benefit from concrete situations during education. Finding a solution in order to get incorrect change for a purchase is an example of a concrete situation. Analogies require abstract thinking and insight. Independently solving a problem and presenting it to the group may be intimidating. All participants may or may not be literate.
