Discussion 1

The differences between inferences and assumptions are:

· Assumption: This is a piece of information or a belief we take for granted as true. We usually apply this to our thinking to develop an inference.

· Inference: This occurs when deciding that something is true in light of some other piece(s) of knowledge (or assumptions) being true or present in the field. It is also known as a conclusion.

Both assumptions and inferences can be logical or not and justified or not.

Read and complete the Inferences and Assumptions Exercise without discussing your responses with anyone else. After you complete the exercise, your faculty member will provide the answers.

Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:

· Discuss the Inferences and Assumptions Exercise. Identify and rationalize any underlying assumptions and inferences you made.

Discussion 2

Read “Toward a Creative Criticality: Revisiting Critical Thinking” from the University Library.

Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:

· Discuss the context of the article and your perceptions on the author’s symbiotic approach.

Assignment

Choose 1 model of thinking from the presentation that most likely represents your model of thinking while you were reading and answering the questions from the Inferences and Assumptions Exercise in the Wk 3 Discussion 1 - Inferences and Assumptions.

Use the Student Paper Template to write a 500- to 700-word reflective discussion in which you:

· Identify the model of thinking you chose.

· Explain the model and any underlying assumptions and inferences you made while rationalizing the scenario presented in the Inferences and Assumptions Exercise.

Inferences and Assumptions Exercise

The story below is modified from the original developed in 1955 by communication psychologist William V. Haney to help understand how human beings make inferences and assumptions from information that is available (Ayers, 2002). The exercise consists of a brief story and 11 statements about the story.

Read the following story:

A businessman had just turned off the lights in the store when a man appeared and demanded money. The owner opened a cash register. The contents of the cash register were scooped up, and the man sped away. A member of the police force was notified promptly.[footnoteRef:2] [2: Adapted from “Leadership, Shared Meaning, and Semantics,” by M. Ayers, 2002, ETC.: A Review of General Semantics, 59(3), 287. Copyright 2002 by ETC.: A Review of General Semantics.]

Read the following statements (see Footnote 1).

After each of the 11 statements, mark each statement with either:

· “T” to indicate true

· “F” to indicate false

· “U” to indicate unknown

1. A man appeared after the owner had turned off his store lights.

2. The robber was a man.

3. The man who appeared did not demand money.

4. The man who opened the cash register was the owner.

5. The store owner scooped up the contents of the cash register and ran away.

6. Someone opened a cash register.

7. After the man who demanded the money scooped up the contents of the cash register, he ran away.

8. While the cash register contained money, the story does not state how much.

9. The robber demanded money from the owner.

10. It was broad daylight when the man appeared.

11. The story concerns a series of events in which only 3 persons are referred to: the owner of the store, a man who demanded money, and a member of the police force.

Note: Do not share your responses with your classmates at this time.
