Understanding/acceptance and adaptation: Is the non-normative thinking mode adaptive?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (5):680-681 (2000)
| Abstract | The finding of a correlation between normative responses to judgment and reasoning questions and cognitive capacity measures (SAT score) suggests that the cause of the non-normative responses is computational in nature. This actually is consistent with the rational competence view. The implications of this finding for the adaptation view of cognition are discussed. | |||||||||
