Over the past two decades, psychologists have increasingly emphasized the role of intuition and emotion in human cognition and behavior. Some have even argued that we are so governed by our intuitions that analytic thinking merely facilitates confirmation bias and motivated reasoning. However, a recent trend in thinking and reasoning research has called this position into question, indicating that just being willing to engage in analytic reasoning is a meaningful predictor of key psychological outcomes in diverse areas of everyday life. The New Reflectionism in Cognitive Psychologyreviews the evidence for the most recent theories on human thinking and reasoning, exploring how analytic thinking plays an important role in human morality and creativity. Featuring contributions from leading researchers, the volume also considers research on religious, paranormal, and conspiratorial beliefs. An essential volume for all students and researchers of thinking and reasoning, The New Reflectionism in Cognitive Psychologyemphasizes the role that analytic thinking plays in everyday life and the importance of reason in the modern technological age. | The New Reflectionism In Cognitive Psychology by Gordon Pennycook, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
