Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular course of action.
M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M



Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process that focuses on analyzing a
M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M



difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as reflective thinking, is related to
M M M M M M M M M M M M M



evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making and problem solving.

identifying the real problem.

M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M



system.
