An aberrant belief is extreme or unusual in nature. In the most
serious cases these beliefs cause emotional distress in those who
hold them, and typify the core symptoms of psychological disorders.
Each of the chapters in this volume seeks to examine the role that
biases in reasoning can play in the formation of aberrant beliefs.
The chapters consider several conjectures about the role of
reasoning in aberrant belief, including the role of the jumping to
conclusion bias in delusional beliefs, the probabilistic bias in
paranormal beliefs, the role of danger confirming reasoning in
phobias, and the controversial notion that people with
schizophrenia do not succumb to specific forms of reasoning bias.
There are also chapters evaluating different theoretical
perspectives, and suggestions for future research. Aberrant Beliefs
and Reasoning is the first volume presenting an overview of
contemporary research in this growing subject area. It will be
essential reading for academics and students in the fields of human
reasoning, cognitive psychology and philosophy, and will also be of
great interest to clinicians and psychiatrists.
