Thinking is a complex set of collaborations between ........... and .......... representations and processes.

  • A.Linguistic; semantic
  • B.Linguistic; verbal
  • C.Semantic; non-linguistic
  • D.Linguistic; non-linguistic

Answer: D

The blanks are filled by Linguistic; non-linguistic.

Thinking draws on two kinds of representation: linguistic ones (words, propositions and verbal reasoning) and non-linguistic ones (mental images, spatial representations and other non-verbal codes). Complex thought works through the collaboration of the two, as when a problem is reasoned out in words while it is also pictured.

The other pairs do not contrast two kinds of representation: 'linguistic' and 'verbal' are near-synonyms, 'semantic' meaning can be carried by either kind, and 'semantic; non-linguistic' does not name the two systems.
