The overall views of dimensions, cognitive skills and listening skills have a few things in common. Cognitive development plays a significant role in a person's ability to think critically as well as perception and strategic planning. "Professors have proposed the idea that cognitive development consisted of the development of logical competence, and that the development of this competence consists of four major stages" (Emory University, 2003, p. 34). Generalizations of this concept are possible and different fields of study will define their spaces by their own relevant dimensions, and use these spaces as frameworks upon which other studies are based (University of Alberta, 2003). This paper discusses the dimensions of mathematics as well as an overview of cognitive skill listening skills, perception and strategic planning
A dimension is a Latin word meaning "measured out" (Hall, 1996). A dimension is a parameter or measurement required to define the characteristics of an object. Dimension can be described in size and an object of space like a room (Wikipedia.com, 2007). When mathematicians and physicists talk about dimensions, they mean the number of independent coordinates needed to specify any point in a given space (SuperStringTheory.com, 2007). Dimensions are also demonstrated in the way we live, talk, and go on with our everyday lives. According to the Super String Theory (2007) "dimensions actually do not perceive them but they form the frame in which they perceive events" (p. 1). This would allow people to explore dimensions in a larger perspective of life.
According to Isaac Newton, time is universal for all objects no matter their motion, relative to one another (Miller and Rollnick, 2002). This point of view held until Einstein ...
