Question 1

5 / 5 pts

According to the text, how do the views of stronger, more developed critical thinkers

toward authority differ from those in earlier stages of cognitive development?

Your Answer:

Developed critical thinkers are skeptical. They will not trust the word of an authority

figure without skepticism and their own research. Critical Thinkers are likely ranked

"sages" and "truth-seekers" on the levels of thinking and knowledge. Alternatively,

earlier stages of cognitive development such as "touchers" and "Trusters" will take any

word from authority at face value and will completely trust what they're being told.
