The chances are good that you would soon lose interest. Thinkback provides insight into the thinking process. It is a new kind of learning named after instant video playback , which has revolutionised sports. With video playback players get immediate feedback on how they performed by watching their own actions from a perspective they could never achieve without the aid of a camera and video tape. They can be coached by an expert who can play back their actions in slow motion and demonstrate frame by frame where a motion was appropriate and where it was ineffective.
Referees can replay their last call and rethink their last decision.
Thinkback is also a generalisation of techniques described in Problem Solving and Comprehension , a programme with over 20 years of success and research behind it. You see nothing. Out there somewhere in front of you is the net. Suddenly you hear the sound of a racket hitting the ball, followed by the sound of the ball bouncing in your court. You take a step toward where you think the bounce may have been and swing your racket.
