Critical reasoning questions test your ability to analyze logical arguments. The arguments cover a range of topics and situations which average GMAT-takers would be expected to be able to understand, even if they are not very familiar with the subject area.
Analyze the information on which each question is based, and then choose the most appropriate of the answer choices.

An experiment was done in which human subjects recognize a pattern within a matrix of abstract designs and then select another design that completes that pattern. The results of the experiment were surprising. The lowest expenditure of energy in neurons in the brain was found in those subjects who performed most successfully in the experiments.
Which of the following hypotheses best accounts for the findings of the experiment?
Option A : The experiment did not compare types of reasoning so this hypothesis does not account for the results.
Option B : No information is provided about subjects' satisfaction, so this hypothesis is not warranted.
Option C : Correct. This statement properly identifies a hypothesis that connects subjects' performance with their energy expenditure and so could account for the experiment's results.
Option D : The most successful subjects would presumably not have completed fewer patterns than average, so the posited increase in energy would likely lead to higher energy expenditures for them, not lower.
Option E : No information is offered on the subjects, so no hypothesis about athletes is warranted.
The correct answer is C.
Each aptitude test is comprised of 10 except the last test which might have fewer than 10 in some topics.
You are at question (MCQ) number 1 and Test Number 8 of Critical or Logical Reasoning: Critical or Logical Reasoning. To deal with Critical or Logical Reasoning questions, you must take lesson on the subject. In case of science and Art subjects revise your text books and in case of general aptitude topics take lessons from the topic page.
The question:
An experiment was done in which human subjects recognize a pattern within a matrix of abstract de .... with options: The neurons of the brain react less when a subject is trying to recognize patterns than when the subject is doing other kinds of reasoning. , Those who performed best in the experiment experiencedmore satisfaction when working with abstract patterns than did those who performed less well. , People who are better at abstract pattern recognition have more energy-efficient neural connections. , The energy expenditure of the subjects' brains increases when a design that completes the initially recognized pattern is determined. can be solved with the concepts and understanding of Critical or Logical Reasoning.
