In Decision Making and Rationality in the Modern World, Keith E.
Stanovich demonstrates how work in the cognitive psychology of
decision making has implications for the large and theoretically
contentious debates about the nature of human rationality. Written
specifically for undergraduate psychology students, the book
presents a very practical approach to decision making, which is too
often perceived by students as an artificial set of skills used
only in academia and not in the real world. Instead, Stanovich
shows how good decision-making procedures support rational behavior
that enables people to act most efficiently to fulfill their goals.
He explains how the concept of rationality is understood in
cognitive science in terms of good decision making and judgment.
Books in the Fundamentals of Cognition series serve as ideal
instructional resources for advanced courses in cognitive
psychology. They provide an up-to-date, well-organized survey of
our current understanding of the major theories of cognitive
psychology. The books are concise, which allows instructors to
incorporate the latest original research and readings into their
courses without overburdening their students. Focused without being
too advanced--and comprehensive without being too broad--these
books are the perfect resource for both students and instructors.
