David E. Over is a leading cognitive scientist and, with his firm
grounding in philosophical logic, he also exerts a powerful
influence on the psychology of reasoning. He is responsible for not
only a large body of empirical work and accompanying theory, but
for advancing a major shift in thinking about reasoning, commonly
known as the 'new paradigm' in the psychology of human reasoning.
Over's signature mix of philosophical logic and experimental
psychology has inspired generations of researchers, psychologists,
and philosophers alike over more than a quarter of a century. The
chapters in this volume, written by a leading group of contributors
including a number who helped shape the psychology of reasoning as
we know it today, each take their starting point from the key
themes of Over's ground-breaking work. The essays in this
collection explore a wide range of central topics-such as
rationality, bias, dual processes, and dual systems-as well as
contemporary psychological and philosophical theories of
conditionals. It concludes with an engaging new chapter, authored
by David E. Over himself, which details and analyses the new
paradigm psychology of reasoning. This book is therefore important
reading for scholars, researchers, and advanced students in
psychology, philosophy, and the cognitive sciences, including those
who are not familiar with Over's thought already.
