Cognitive Illusions explores a wide range of fascinating
psychological effects in the way we think, judge and remember in
our everyday lives. In this volume, Rudiger F. Pohl brings together
leading international researchers to define what cognitive
illusions are and discuss their theoretical status: are such
illusions proof of a faulty human information-processing system, or
do they only represent by-products of otherwise adaptive cognitive
mechanisms? The book describes and discusses 26 different cognitive
illusions, with each chapter giving a profound overview of the
respective empirical research including potential explanations,
individual differences, and relevant applied perspectives. This
edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, featuring new
chapters on negativity bias, metacognition, and how we respond to
fake news, along with detailed descriptions of experiments that can
be used as classroom demonstration in every chapter. Demonstrating
just how diverse cognitive illusions can be, it is a must read for
all students and researchers of cognitive illusions, specifically,
those focusing on thinking, reasoning, decision-making, and memory.
