Abstract
A vital element of the assessment process is critical thinking; that is, linking assessment data to knowledge. Making links or constructing knowledge is difficult for students because of the complex skill and cognitive load that the assessment process generates and because of students' limited view of the clinical environment. Viewing learning from the cognitive psychological perspective provides insight into knowledge construction and offers suggestions for faculty who teach nursing students.
