Originally published in 1982, this was an extensive and up-to-date
review of research into the psychology of deductive reasoning,
Jonathan Evans presents an alternative theoretical framework to the
rationalist approach which had dominated much of the published work
in this field at the time. The review falls into three sections.
The first is concerned with elementary reasoning tasks, in which
response latency is the prime measure of interest. The second and
third sections are concerned with syllogistic and propositional
reasoning respectively, in which interest has focused on the
explanation of frequently observed logical errors. In an extended
discussion it is argued that reasoning processes are content
specific, and give little indication of the operation of any
underlying system of logical competence. Finally, a dual process
theory of reasoning, with broad implications and connections with
other fields of psychology, is elaborated and assessed in the light
of recent evidence.
