The field of thinking has undergone a revolution in recent years, opening itself up to new perspectives and applications. The traditional focus on laboratory-based thinking has transformed as theoretical work is now being applied to new contexts and real world issues. Bringing together some of the world’s leading researchers, The Thinking Mind presents a broad overview of the field, emphasising how cutting edge research can help us understand how we think in everyday life. The book explores modern perspectives on a variety of traditional and contemporary topics, including Wason’s reasoning tasks, logic, meta-reasoning, and the effect of environment and context on reasoning.
