AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Scientific experiments are great examples of convergent thinking. Scientists conduct experiments to find the best possible answer to a problem. Experiments also follow a logical sequence of events and compare unknowns to proven scientific facts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Convergent thinking occurs when the solution to a problem can be deduced by applying established rules and logical reasoning. This type of reasoning involves solving a problem within the context of known information and narrowing down the solution based on logical inference.

Detailed explanation-3: -Einstein was a strong divergent thinker. He asked simple questions and then did mental exercises to solve problems. For example, as a young man Einstein asked himself what it would be like to ride on a beam of light.

Detailed explanation-4: -The convergent example is focused on exploring options for delegating the work, whereas the divergent example doesn’t rule out options like fixing the laptop locally or using another device to get by until a new one is shipped. Both examples will produce valuable results.
