Thinking in the Abstract

Caption

Participants in a study at the University of Oregon were more likely to draw upon an abstract rendering of a concept of qualities associated to related experiences. In this case, as an example, an abstract version of a dog best represents all the information from a person's experiences with dogs over time.
