Abstract

This paper was based on our educational experiments in two Singapore secondary schools. We analysed the correlations between every two adjacent dimensions of the six cognitive dimensions, and the correlations between every dimension and cumulative effects of dimensions lower than that dimension, by applying Pearson Correlation Analysis. The purpose of this paper is to make a further discussion about the "Cognitive Processes" theorem. The method and preliminary discoveries of this paper deepened our understanding of the inner correlations among the six cognitive dimensions, thus we can more precisely recognise different distances of "Critical Regions" between every two different cognitive dimensions, and consequently help teachers to make their targets of thinking skills-teaching more clear, and the stride over "Critical Regions" more effective.
