Because those with "blindsight" report that they can see nothing but still do better than chance on tests of visual stimuli detection, some theorized that there was a paranormal explanation for their test results. Another hypothesis is that some blind people may use a form of echolocation to "see" what is in front of them. This alternate hypothesis best demonstrates which principle of critical thinking?

Occam's razor

Occam's razor

Explanation:

Formulated by the medieval philosopher William of Occam (sometimes spelled Ockham), Occam's Narvalha is a reductionist philosophical, problem-solving principle that distinguishes between equivalent theories and can be used as a technique for formulating theoretical models. In its simplest formulation, Occam's Razor will say that between two theories with equal results, which explain or predict the same phenomena, we must always choose the simplest theory.

Formulated by the medieval philosopher William of Occam (sometimes spelled Ockham), Occam's razor is a reductionist philosophical, problem-solving principle that distinguishes between equivalent theories and can be used as a technique for formulating theoretical models. In its simplest formulation, Occam's Razor will say that between two theories with equal results, which explain or predict the same phenomena, we must always choose the simplest theory. Based on this, we can conclude that the critical thinking that explains the alternative hypothesis shown in the question above about people with "blind vision" is Occam's razor.
