To date we have only a fragmentary understanding of the thought
processes that engender insightful solutions to problems that
require a change in representation or the discovery of distant
associations to presented information. We likewise have only a
piecemeal understanding of the thinking that underpins creative
problem solving, where solutions are needed that are new to the
solver. Recently there has been a growing interest in removing the
mystery from insight and creativity through better specified
theories and theory-driven experimentation. The chapters in this
volume reflect key developments in this expanding field of insight
and creativity research. Collectively, the chapters converge on a
nuanced view of insight and creative thinking as often arising from
the interplay between two qualitatively distinct types of processes
that interact to yield sudden, surprising and innovative solutions
to problems that initially seemed impenetrable and resistant to the
application of inventive ideas. This dual-process perspective,
which capitalises on the distinction between 'special' (automatic,
unconscious and associative) Type 1 processes and 'routine'
(controlled, conscious and analytic) Type 2 processes, helps
advance a theoretical understanding of insight and creativity,
whilst also provoking important new research questions. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Thinking and
Reasoning.

Examining the role of implicit, unconscious thinking on reasoning,
decision making, problem solving, creativity, and its
neurocognitive basis, for a genuinely psychological conception of
rationality. This volume contributes to a current debate within the
psychology of thought that has wide implications for our ideas
about creativity, decision making, and economic behavior. The
essays focus on the role of implicit, unconscious thinking in
creativity and problem solving, the interaction of intuition and
analytic thinking, and the relationship between communicative
heuristics and thought. The analyses move beyond the conventional
conception of mind informed by extra-psychological theoretical
models toward a genuinely psychological conception of rationality-a
rationality no longer limited to conscious, explicit thought, but
able to exploit the intentional implicit level. The contributors
consider a new conception of human rationality that must cope with
the uncertainty of the real world; the implications of abandoning
the normative model of classic logic and adopting a probabilistic
approach instead; the argumentative and linguistic aspects of
reasoning; and the role of implicit thought in reasoning,
creativity, and its neurological base. Contributors Maria Bagassi,
