TABLE 10.1	CONCEPT FORMATION
Overt Activity	Covert Mental Operations	Eliciting Questions

TABLE 10.2	INTERPRETATION OF DATA
Overt Activity	Covert Mental Operations	Eliciting Questions	
1.	Identifying critical relationships	Differentiating	What did you notice? see? find?	
2.	Exploring relationships	Relating categories to each other
Determining cause-and-effect relationships	Why did this happen?	
3.	Making inferences	Going beyond what is given

TABLE 10.3	APPLICATION OF PRINCIPLES
Overt Activity	Covert Mental Operations	Eliciting Questions	
1.	Predicting consequences, explaining unfamiliar phenomena, hypothesizing	Analyzing the nature of the problem or situation, retrieving relevant knowledge	What would happen if . . . ?	
2.	Explaining and/or supporting the predictions and hypotheses	Determining the causal links leading to prediction or hypothesis	Why do you think this would happen?	
3.	Verifying the prediction	Using logical principles or factual knowledge to determine necessary and sufficient conditions	What would it take for this to be generally true or probably true?
