The major purpose of this special issue is to highlight the topic
of expert thinking. The issue samples the diversity of domains of
expertise and includes a good sample of paradigms and methods, with
articles that involve think aloud problem solving tasks, computer
simulations, and traditional learning or memory tasks. It also has
articles that illustrate the diversity of settings in which
expertise is practiced and can be studied, ranging from the
traditional psychology laboratory to cognition in "the wild."
Reasoning is generally regarded as an aggregate of fundamental
processes that are involved in such complex behaviors as
decision-making, planning, and problem solving. Are complex
reasoning processes per se the defining hallmark of expertise?
Articles in this special issue particularly highlight ways in which
reasoning does depend on memory, e.g., for musical scores (Chaffin
& Imreh) and for chess games (Gobet), and does become more
efficient over time (Clarke & Lamberts). However, experts also
use quite general strategies, such as hypothesis testing and the
combination of forward and backward chaining (Clarke &
Lamberts, Ball, Evans, Dennis & Ormerod).
