On the other hand, vision is unbelievably reliable when compared to the process of thinking, which can often be unreliable. Students avoid thinking at all costs and always resort to using memory. When we (all students) are approached with any sort of complex problem, we simplify. For example, an unconscious choice of choosing what kind of bread to buy at the grocery store could actually be used as a complex problem that we could think about in novel ways. This choice could be turned into an engaging mental problem by comparing price, nutritional value, cost / unit of measurement, but we typically choose the bread we know. This is an example of how we (society) constantly revert back to memory as often as possible, and how students avoid using abstract reasoning when problem solving.
