When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

e quindi proporrei una frase sul tipo di
*trace ... the development of their separate (literary)thought /thinking*
buon lavoro (sembra un testo impegnativo ...)

counter to Alfredo's suggestion, my impression is that
*trace the development* may fit better than *trace the course*
it actually seems to be far more frequently used, too

adding *literary* the search seems to confirm this

Luisa Piussi
: one's thought process in Italian is "percorsi mentali"/thought process is in your explanation: just wanted to help to avoid misunderstandings :-)

Yes, I was aware of that but my answer, if you look above, wasn't "thought process" but "chain of thought." Not quite sure exactly what you were trying to point out...

In English, we do also have the term: thought forms, but this is entirely metaphysical.

: personally i feel percorso di pensiero is the thinking process. Obviously one's thinking process is always influenced by doctrine, philosopy, point of view, teachings etc. but this is another matter. my opinion anyway

eh, sì, il dilemma è tra elaborazione mentale personale e percorsi "culturali" scelti. forse con tutto il testo. grazie mario

Alfredo Tutino
: I'd mix your solution with Linda's proposal to get "trace the course(s?) of their thinking"
