Use telescoping follow-up questions to move beyond first reactions, uncover the reasoning behind beliefs, and spot explanations that may sound convincing but do not reflect the real motive. Build learning environments that reward continued exploration, not just correct answers, and create stronger dialogue by accurately understanding another person’s view before debating it.
