Summary

Newly available in paperback, this volume addresses an apparent paradox in the psychology of thinking: on the one hand, human beings are a highly successful species, on the other, intelligent adults are known to exhibit numerous errors and biases in laboratory studies of reasoning and decision making. Topics discussed include relevance effects in reasoning and decision making, the influence of prior beliefs on thinking, the argument that apparently non-logical reasoning can reflect efficient decison making, and deductive competence.
