How do people reason? How do people's reasoning strategies differ and why? "Methods of Thought "attempts to answer these questions by looking in detail at the different reasoning strategies people apply, how these are acquired, how these are selected and how these strategies are influenced by individual and task properties. Focusing on empirical data and research into deductive reasoning tasks, this book summarizes current trends in the field and helps us to understand how individual differences in reasoning impact on other studies of higher cognitive abilities in humans. It will be of interest to anyone studying or working in the fields of reasoning, problem solving, and cognitive development.
