Hypothetical thinking: dual processes in reasoning and judgement [Essays in cognitive psychology series]. Evans, Jonathan St B. T.
13009 Hove & New York Psychology Press 2007 First ed. Hardback, as new condition. 206 pp. The author describes Hypothetical Thinking Theory - an integrated theory about hypothesis testing, reasoning, judgement and decision making in psychology. This theory is built on three key principles, and can provide an integrated account of some very diverse phenomena, including confirmation bias in hypothesis testing, acceptance of fallacies in deductive reasoning, belief biases in reasoning and judgement, biases of statistical judgement, and a number of key findings in decision making research. The author also provides broad ranging discussion of cognitive biases, human rationality and dual-process theories of higher cognition.
