The ladder of inference
|
I love this short video narrated by Trevor Maber on The Ladder of Inference. It describes incremental thinking process that we go through, often without even realising it, starting from a fact and progressing to a decision or action. The thinking stages are represented as rungs on a ladder. It illuminates some of our traps such ‘group think’, stereotyping and bad habits. It helps us to understand how to short-circuit some of our automatic thinking habits.
