Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When we think, we mentally manipulate internal representations of objects, activities, and situations. This involves processing information, drawing on past experiences and knowledge, and making connections between ideas. Thinking is an active process that involves the manipulation of mental representations, rather than just the passive recording of information (A) or the physical alteration of the environment (B). While we often focus on present reality while thinking, this is not the defining characteristic of the process (D).
