Books in the Current Issues in Thinking and Reasoning series

This volume concerns the thinking processes and biases which are a factor in the development and maintenance of delusional or aberrant beliefs. It provides a review, synthesis and critique of the most prominent theories, in light of recent evidence in the field, and encompasses cognitive, philosophical and clinical orientations. It will be of great interest to researchers and students with an interest in cognitive psychology and philosophy, and also to clinicians including psychologists, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses.

Thinking, Reasoning and Decision Making in Autism is the first collection to provide insight into the cognitive processes that underlie typical characteristics of autism.

This volume presents detailed reviews and will be of use to anyone interested in the strengths and weaknesses of human reason. This volume will also be of use to both proponents and skeptics of dual-process theory as it represents a strong case for the wide theoretical significance of the distinction between intuition and reflection. The empirical evidence indicates that analytic thinking plays a significant role in everyday life. Reason does, in fact, matter.

Insight: The Origins of New Ideas brings together leading international researchers to discuss recent developments in problem solving. The book is essential reading for students and researchers of insight, as well as those with a broader interest in learning, creativity and intelligence.

There has been an upsurge of research aimed at removing the mystery surrounding insight and creative thinking processes in problem solving. Chapters in this volume converge on a nuanced 'dual-process' view of insight and creative thinking. It was originally published as a special issue of Thinking and Reasoning.

Moral Inferences draws on the expertise of world-leading researchers to provide a ground-breaking exploration of reasoning and morality. Historically, these two areas of research have largely been conducted in isolation, which has resulted in a lack of integration between the latest morality research and current theories in reasoning, despite the prominent role reasoning plays in morality. This volume will explore the relationship between the two, emphasising the importance of synthesising work from both morality and reasoning researchers in order to see the bigger picture. It will appeal to researchers from both fields, acting as a springboard for future research.

What are the cognitive processes involved in formulating, evaluating and selecting a sequence of thoughts and actions to achieve a goal? This book evaluates the different approaches to the scientific study of planning.

The chapters in this volume showcase work that demonstrates how advancements in the field of reasoning rely on integrating findings, theories, and paradigms from the field of memory. The chapters present an overview of this burgeoning area of research and will be of interest to advanced undergraduates on a wide range of cognitive courses, as well as researchers interested in thinking, reasoning, or decision-making.

This edited volume brings to the fore new pioneering research methods and empirical findings in the field of reasoning research.

A uniquely balanced, cutting-edge evaluation of the field of evolutionary cognitive psychology.

How do people reason? How do peoples' reasoning strategies differ and why? Methods of Thought attempts to answer these questions by looking in detail at the different reasoning strategies people acquire, select and apply.
