The Cité des Sciences is hosting an exhibition to put your critical thinking skills to the test.
Have fun testing your judgment: Can you distinguish fact from fiction and avoid the cognitive biases that can undermine critical thinking? The Critical Thinking exhibition gives you the tools to avoid them: verify information, challenge preconceived notions, and stay vigilant.
The exhibition helpsyou sharpen your critical thinking skills by exploring the cognitive mechanisms and social phenomena that guide our choices through a fun, immersive journey that plunges you into everyday situations.
Stroll through a city with your connected wristband and stop by the convenience store, city hall, and the newsstand… With each experience, you'll earn badges, analyze your answers, and compare them with those of other visitors. You'll take tests inspired by research in behavioral and social psychology, cognitive science, and sociology.
At the end of the Critical Thinking exhibition tour, you?ll assess your critical thinking skills based on five criteria: the ability to adjust your level of confidence, to rely on the group, to analyze information, to identify cognitive biases, and to suspend judgment when you don't know something.
Recommended for ages 10 and up. Trilingual exhibition in French, English, and Spanish.
