The Thinking component of the Valentina TTL model refers to the cognitive processes involved in perception, attention, memory, language, and problem-solving. This component is concerned with how we process information, make decisions, and generate solutions to complex problems. The Thinking component is further divided into two sub-processes: intuitive thinking and reflective thinking. Intuitive thinking involves rapid, automatic, and unconscious cognitive processes, while reflective thinking involves slower, more deliberate, and conscious cognitive processes.
The Valentina TTL model is based on the idea that human cognition is a complex, multi-faceted process that cannot be reduced to a single theory or framework. Instead, the model proposes that cognition is the result of the dynamic interplay between three distinct yet interconnected components: Thinking, Talking, and Learning. These components are not separate entities, but rather, they are intertwined and interdependent, influencing one another in complex ways.
The Learning component of the Valentina TTL model refers to the processes involved in acquiring new knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This component is concerned with how we adapt to new situations, learn from experience, and modify our behavior in response to changing environments. The Learning component is further divided into two sub-processes: explicit learning and implicit learning. Explicit learning involves conscious, intentional learning, while implicit learning involves unconscious, incidental learning.
