How do people make inferences? How do their reasoning processes
differ and why? Methods of Thought attempts to answer these
questions by looking in detail at the different reasoning
strategies people apply, how these are acquired, how they are
selected and how use of these strategies is influenced by
individual and task properties. Focusing on empirical data and
research into deductive reasoning tasks, this book summarizes
current trends in the field and helps us to understand how
individual differences in reasoning impact on other studies of
higher cognitive abilities in humans. Contributors include
researchers who have shown that people make deductions by using a
variety of strategies, and others who have found that deductive
reasoning problems provide a useful test-bed for investigating
general theories of strategy development. Together, it is shown
that these general theories derived from other domains have
important implications for deductive reasoning, and also that
findings by reasoning researchers have wider consequences for
general theories of strategy development. This book will be of
interest to anyone studying or working in the fields of reasoning,
problem solving, and cognitive development, as well as cognitive
science in general.
