Abstract
Critical thinking and social reasoning are fundamental skills in complex, social situations, and several domains (e.g.,
healthcare and military) have realized that personnel are lacking the cognitive skills necessary to optimally perform
within their complicated, dynamic environment. Thus, there is a need to train critical social thinking skills in order
to improve cognitive and social reasoning, enhance performance, and ultimately result in better outcomes. Therefore
the purpose of this paper is to provide researchers and practitioners with a review of the literature pertinent to
developing critical social thinking skills. This review is presented in the form of best practices for designing and
implementing critical thinking training interventions.
