Description
This is a collection of all papers published in volume one of the journal "Thinking and Reasoning", an international journal dedicated to the understanding of human thought processes with a particular emphasis on studies on reasoning. Whilst the primary focus is on psychological studies of thinking, contributions are included from philosophers, artificial intelligence researchers and other cognitive scientists whose work bears upon the central concerns of the journal. Topics covered include studies of deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, problem solving, decision making, probability judgement, conceptual thinking, and the influence of language and culture on thought.
