Fostering critical thinking

From back: A father wants his son to grow up to be a great baseball player, so he is already playing baseball with his 3 year old son. Will this help? How would you program a robot to acquire language in the stages that humans follow? How would you operantly condition a rude friend to be more likable? In this booklet, you'll find specific ways to foster your student's critical thinking using these and the more than 250 critical thinking questions included in the Summary/Self-tests at the end of each module in Rod Plotnik's Introduction to Psychology, third edition. For each question, Gary Poole offers suggested answer that provide excellent jumping off points of discussion.
