Over the past three decades, there has been a rapid development of
research on human thinking and reasoning. This volume provides a
comprehensive review of this topic by looking at the important
contributions Paolo Legrenzi has made to the field, by bridging the
gap from Gestalt ideas to modern cognitive psychology. The
contributors, including some of the most distinguished scholars of
reasoning and thinking in Europe and the USA, reflect upon the ways
in which he has influenced and inspired their own research, and
contributed to modern approaches to human inference. This volume
draws on both traditional and new topics in reasoning and thinking
to provide a wide-ranging survey of human thought. It covers
creativity, problem-solving, the linguistic and social aspects of
reasoning and judgement, and the social and emotional aspects of
decision making through telling examples, such as the cognitive
mechanisms underlying consumers' attitudes towards herbal
medicines. It considers a series of key questions, such as how do
individuals who are unfamiliar with logic reason? And how do they
make choices if they are unfamiliar with the probability calculus
and decision theory? The discussions are placed throughout within a
wider research context and the contributors consider the
implications of their research for the field as a whole, making the
volume an essential reference for anyone investigating the
processes that underlies our thinking, reasoning, and
decision-making in everyday life.
