Logical thinking is a critically important cognitive skill. It is
not just essential for mathematical and scientific understanding,
it is also of prime importance when trying to navigate our complex
and increasingly sophisticated world. Written by world class
researchers in the field, The Developmental Psychology of Reasoning
and Decision-Making describes the ways that children learn to
reason, and how reasoning can be used to overcome the influence of
beliefs and intuitions. The chapters in this edited collection
focus on the new, revolutionary paradigm in reasoning and cover the
recent research on the development of reasoning in two important
areas: Cognitive abilities required to reason well and how these
abilities develop in children and adolescents. Recent empirical
data showing the effect intuition and prior belief have on
reasoning, even when the outcome is inappropriate. Different
theoretical and empirical perspectives from recent Piagetian
theory, mental models and gist processing are examined, along with
empirical results looking at specific aspects of reasoning in
children. The key theme of the book is to better understand how
reasoning develops not only through examining 'logical' reasoning,
but also the nature of the interactions between people's intuitions
and their reasoning abilities. The Developmental Psychology of
Reasoning and Decision-Making provides an overview of the main
theories and key empirical results related to the development of
reasoning and should be of particular interest to students and
researchers in developmental psychology and education, along with
those in cognitive psychology.
