Abstract

This chapter provides information about the philosophical ideas and associated terminology that underlie Relational Thinking Styles (RTS) and briefly explains how these relate to computational modeling and to the Davis Non-Verbal Assessment, all of which comprise much more than a list of definitions. This chapter also provides a rationale for the importance of understanding terms in their context. The objectives of this chapter are to introduce readers to the philosophical underpinnings of RTS and provide them with the background and vocabulary to understand the rest of the book.
