What is the meaning of conceptual skills?

conceptual skills refer to the ability to form concepts. These are various levels of cognitive (mainly verbal) abstractions beginning with the exercise of denotating simple physical objects (e.g. a cat) to higher level abstractions which go beyond the physically visible (e.g. truth). In everyday use, we also say someone has conceptual skills who is able to look at patterns of objects and events and label them (with a concept Word), which identifies, organizes and makes sense of the pattern, trend, or configuration of objects or events, with a putative explanatory intent.
