The developmental psychology of reasoning and decision-making

"The chapters in this edited collection focus on new, revolutionary paradigms in reasoning and cover the recent research on development of reasoning in two important areas: cognitive abilities required to reason well and how these abilities develop in children and adolescents, and recent empirical data showing the effect intuition and prior belief have on reasoning, even when the outcome is inappropriate. [...] The key theme of the book is to better undertand how reasoning develops not only though examining 'logical' reasoning, but also the nature of the interactions between people's intuitions and their reasoning abilities"--Back cover
