Is it something like the notion of 'cognitive dissonance'? As I
understand it this it is when we become conscious that our actions and
beliefs are not aligned... or is it more complex in that we take into the
equation the external data ?
I am beginning to build an idea that it is a set of thinking processes
which enable/allow/prompt us to reframe the world around us and take on
new ways of thinking ... how is this more or different from learning - or
are we saying it is a necessary sub-process of learning...??
