Intuitive thinking refers to the use of abstract thinking and a more emotional based feelings approach to make conclusions. Most conclusions of intuitive thinking are based on "gut feelings". An example of intuitive thinking is drawing the conclusion that a person is a certain way based on the way their face looks. Conclusions are drawn not based on any factual evidence of their behaviour.
Logical thinking relies on hard evidence and facts. Logical thinkers rely on rules and processes to maneuver the situations presented to them and use these in their problem solving methods. An example of logical thinking that any shape with four equal sides is called a square. There is no need for analysis once these facts are established.
The usefulness of the social cognitive theory construct of
observational learning is being determined by a factor in which how the
individual has extended the attention given to another person in means of
having to model the behavior that is being executed or exhibited.
