Thinking and reasoning are key activities for human beings. In this
book a distinguished set of contributors provides a wide readership
with up-to-date scientific advances in the developmental psychology
of thinking and reasoning, both at the theoretical and empirical
levels. The first part of the book illustrates how modern
approaches to the study of thinking and reasoning have gone beyond
the Piagetian legacy: through the investigation of avenues
previously not explored, and by demonstrating that young children
have higher capacities than was assumed within the Piagetian
tradition. The second part focuses upon theoretical and empirical
investigations of the interplay between logic and intuition in
reasoning and decision making, and how these forms of thinking
evolve with age, through the general framework of what is known as
dual-process theories. Contrary to Piaget's claim, it becomes
apparent that elaborate adult reasoning could rely on some form of
intuition. The Development of Thinking and Reasoning provides
psychologists, educators and everyone interested in child
development with an integrated and up-to-date series of chapters,
written by prominent specialists in the areas of thinking,
reasoning, and decision making.
