Med student here. A psych test we use to test abstract thinking in dementia patients: what is meant by “don’t judge a book by its cover”?

Being able to take an example and extract an underlying pattern that you can see in other areas of life is an example of abstract thinking. The opposite of that would be concrete thinking, which would be taking an idiom like the one above and interpreting it literally.
