Who Is Rational?: Studies of individual Differences in Reasoning

This book provides a comprehensive examination of individual differences in rational thought, demonstrating that patterns of individual differences have strong implications for explanations of the gap between normative and descriptive models of human behavior.

The author presents new evidence to bear on debates about what it means to be rational, bringing empirical research into alignment with current cognitive theory.

Through a series of chapters, the book shows how patterns of individual differences have implications for all major critiques of purported demonstrations of human irrationality in the heuristics and biases literature.

The author's findings contextualize the heuristics and biases literature, providing a more nuanced understanding of human rationality and its limitations.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human cognition and the factors that influence our decision-making processes.
