daria has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is being given an intelligence test. the examiner asks daria what it means when
one says, "strike while the iron is hot." daria replies, "you cannot iron clothes with a cold iron." daria's response demonstrates ____. a. ideas of reference

d. concrete thinking
Concrete thinking focuses on reality or objects that can be seen, touched, etc. This type of thinking differs from abstract thinking because in abstract thinking the individual connects ideas more deeply going beyond the elements he/she can see, touch, etc. Abstract thinking normally develops during adolescence; however, it is common for patients with schizophrenia or similar mental disorders have deficits in abstract thinking.

Therefore, Daria's response shows concrete thinking as she understands the world based on concrete object or reality she can touch, see, etc.
