DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITIVE COMPETENCIES - This book is a contribution from the Psychology of Thought to the study of the generic competencies proposed by the European Union, directed to professors and university students. The cognitive competencies, prepare the student to adapt better to changes that take place in the knowledge society, to assimilate new technologies and to incorporate in the labour market, to think for themselves, to question information and social reality, to justify their arguments, to take correct decisions, to solve complex problems and to experience the happiness of self-realization;a preparation, in short, to be able to act in an efficient way in all the areas of life. The book proposes operational, clear and simple definitions, on each one of the cognitive competencies, the steps that the mind follows when they are activated, a graphical illustration of the same and examples on how to use them in tasks related to different professions.EXTRACTO DEL INDICE: PREFACIO, de Belle Wallace 1.
