Zusatztext "Our understanding of human reasoning has undergone revolutionary change over the past four decades and those changes have largely paralleled Jonathan Evans' scientific work. The papers in this collection reflect Jonathan's current interests and thus offer an excellent representation of the state of the field. Contributors are all leading figures who cover the bigissues! from the meaning of "if" to the reality and nature of dual reasoning systems to questions of human rationality." - Steven Sloman! Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences! Brown University USA"This book offers an interesting combination of surveys! speculation! and new material. Scholars of reasoning will be interested to read about where the field might be heading! while newcomers will benefit from solid surveys by well-established experts. This festschrift stands as an accurate snapshot of what has happened! is currently happening and what may occur in the future of cognitive psychology ofreasoning." - Jean François Bonnefon! Université de Toulouse and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique! France"This book contains a good mix of theoretical discussions and empirical reports. The chapters are clearly and engagingly written!and the book is a useful! highly readable! and comprehensive overviewof some of the latest developments in the psychology of thinking." - N.Y.
