"New" performance

Associative thinking is the thinking activity of connecting and thinking about the understanding of different things in memory.

The similarity, proximity or contrast between things makes it possible to connect seemingly unrelated perceptions.

（1） connectedness across

（2） Imaginativeness without logical constraints

Association is the basis of innovative thinking, and migration and imagination are important ways for thinking to develop associations.

A way of thinking that seeks diverse answers to problems by thinking from different angles and directions based on known information about things.

Thinking in all directions from a starting point, thinking about novelty and uniqueness, is diffusion and radiation.

① Fluency of thinking process

②Flexibility (or flexibility) of ideas

③The originality of thinking results.

1||| checklist method

2||| information transfer law

3||| Enumeration method

4||| Brainstorming

Use existing knowledge and experience to gradually guide a large amount of information into organized logical ideas in order to arrive at a logical solution to the problem.

Thinking about a target point from all directions and thinking about connections and commonalities is convergence and concentration.

①The process of convergence thinking is rigorous.

②The idea of ​​​​aggregation thinking is unified.

③The conclusion of convergent thinking is demonstrable.

Requires repeated use of logical thinking methods such as comparison, analysis, abstraction, induction, deduction, and synthesis

Establish internal connections between many scattered pieces of knowledge, thereby connecting seemingly unrelated knowledge and focusing on the problems to be solved.

All ideas that are opposite to the original direction of thinking can be called reverse thinking.

1||| Reverse the existing understanding of the structural order of things

2||| Make transformational thinking on the existing understanding of the existing status of things

3||| Reverse the existing understanding of the functions of things

4||| Think interchangeably about existing understandings of causal relationships between things

1||| Reverse thinking should be "reasonable" and follow objective laws. The reverse of reverse thinking is the reverse of rational thinking.

2||| Forward thinking is the basis of reverse thinking. Only by mastering the "positive" of positive thinking can we carry out the "reverse" of reverse thinking reasonably and effectively. Reverse thinking in innovative thinking is often adopted when positive thinking fails to achieve satisfactory results.

3||| Reverse thinking is not always better than positive thinking, it depends on the specific situation

4||| We should complement each other's positive and negative directions and work together to advance together. It is more likely to discover new functions and effects of things and produce innovative results.

Forward thinking is based on analyzing the history and current situation of things from multiple angles and all-round, starting from the reality of the development of things, understanding and grasping the development status of things, and using reasonable reasoning and imagination to judge the future development trends of things. form

Being able to make correct predictions about the development of things is called "prophecy"

Basic qualities: Good at reflection and courage to question

1||| Exploratory (reflecting the negative view of dialectical development)

2||| Predictive

3||| with uncertainty

1||| Use conflict analysis methods

2||| Use reasoning and imagination

3||| Focus on research

（2） practical significance
