💡Comprehension is the first step in solving a problem, being able to conceptually grasp and understand what the issue is
🧠 Divided Attention is needed to simultaneously think of the problem and potential solutions
👁 Visualization is essential part of imagining (making a mental picture) potential solutions
🔐 Logic and Reasoning works in conjunction with these skills to evaluate the problem and determine the best solution and ultimately the action taken to solve the problem
