The unbearable lightness of “Thinking”: Moving beyond simple concepts of thinking, rationality, and hypothesis testing
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 34 (5):250-251 (2011)
Abstract
Three correctives can get researchers out of the trap of constructing unitary theories of : (1) Strong inference methods largely avoid problems associated with universal prescriptive normativism; (2) theories must recognize that significant modularity of cognitive processes is antithetical to general accounts of thinking; and (3) consideration of the domain-specificity of rationality render many of the present article's issues mootDOI
