The Abstract Reasoning cognitive function is responsible for learning the correct sequence of steps in non-language tasks that require an internal sequential logic where the order of the steps in the procedure is critical for successful execution of the task.

Abstract Reasoning
  • Abstract Reasoning is Involved in:

    • learning steps in tasks that require a specific order to be followed for success, such as cooking, computer programming, sewing
  • A Difficulty in This Cognitive Function Leads to:

    • difficulty in learning the steps in a process such as in a computer program, preparing a complex recipe, or programming the PVR
  • Enhancing This Function Leads to:

    • improved ability to understand the sequence of steps required for a successful outcome in a process
