Vol. 1-2 deal with the fundamental architecture of the mind, addressing such questions as: what capacities, processes, representations, biases, & connections are innate? How do these innate elements feed into a story about the development of our mature cognitive capacities, & which are shared with other members of the animal kingdom? Vol. 3: Concerned with the fundamental architecture of the mind, this text addresses questions about the existence & extent of human innate abilities, how these inate abilities affect the development of the mature mind, & which of them is shared with other species.

The 'theory of mind' framework has been the fastest growing body of empirical research in contemporary psychology. It has given rise to a range of positions on what it takes to relate to others as intentional beings. This book brings together disparate strands of ToM research, lays out historical roots of the idea and indicates better alternatives.

"Psychology of Reasoning brings together a set of specially commissioned chapters from leading international researchers in the psychology of reasoning. Its purpose is to explore the historical, philosophical and theoretical implications of the development of this field. Taking the unusual approach of engaging not only with the empirical data, but also with the ideas and concepts underpinning the psychology of reasoning, this volume has important implications both for psychologists and other students of cognition, including philosophers. Sub-fields covered include mental logic, mental models, rational analysis, social judgement theory, game theory and evolutionary theory. There are also specific chapters dedicated to the history of syllogistic reasoning, the psychology of reasoning as it operates in scientific theory and practice, Brunswikian approaches to reasoning and task environments, and the implications of Popperis philosophy for models of behaviour testing. This cross-disciplinary dialogue and the range of material covered will make this an invaluable reference for students and researchers into the psychology and philosophy of reasoning."--Jacket.
