I previously asked about the conceptual links between higher order thinking and inductive reasoning. This question focuses on the potential for improving higher order thinking through practicing inductive reasoning tasks.For instances, in order to become a good dancer, one must exercise leg muscles, improve coordination, learn how to breathe and so on. Is their an analogy with acquiring higher order thinking skills?If so, where can one find the main literature on how this process works? 
Can we increase our higher order thinking (HOT) skills by practicing inductive reasoning?
