This Critical Thinking e-learning course is divided into five modules which explore some of the shortcuts that our brains have evolved over millenia in order to conserve energy and time.

Duration: 3 hours MODULES Confirmation Bias explores five strands of bias and provides tools to help recognise and avoid them. The Influence of Others looks at two of the more important ways in which the behaviour of others can influence us. Developing Expert Judgement covers how to develop your unconscious thinking in a positive way, including assessing the reliability of your own judgement and that of others. Easy v Strategic Thinking looks at how to think more critically about the purpose and outcome of our work. Our brains seek thinking shortcuts to conserve energy. These create a particular challenge when we are asked to think strategically and identify the outcomes which will be of most value to clients. Detecting Lies & Misinformation examines our cognitive bias towards believing people and information. We take a practical look at how to evaluate information, and the source of that information, to help sift the reliable from the unreliable. Read more
