Drawing upon research originally cited in Ken Manktelow's highly
successful publication Reasoning and Thinking, this completely
rewritten textbook reflects on the revolutionary changes that have
occurred in the field in recent years, stemming from the huge
expansion in research output, as well as new methods and
explanations, and the appearance of numerous books on the subject
aimed at the popular market. The area of psychological research
reviewed in this book is one that is not only increasing in
popularity in college curricula, but is also making an ever larger
impact on the world outside the classroom. The main areas covered
are probability judgment, deductive and inductive reasoning,
decision making, hypothetical thinking and rationality. In each
case, the material is almost entirely new, with topics such as the
new paradigm in reasoning research, causal reasoning and
counterfactual thinking appearing for the first time. The book also
presents an extended treatment of decision making research, and
contains a chapter on individual and cultural influences on
thinking. Thinking and Reasoning provides a detailed, integrated
and approachable treatment of this area of cognitive psychology,
and is ideal reading for intermediate and advanced undergraduate
students; indeed, for anyone interested in how we draw conclusions
and make choices.
