Table of ContentsReviewsUnderstanding what underlies the large individual differences in reasoning abilities is a critical question, for both theoretical and practical reasons. In this book, Maggie Toplak has provided a remarkably detailed and theoretically rich account of the development of rational reasoning skills, much of which is based on her own work. The impact of a variety of different components on reasoning is clearly detailed, and the consequences for real-world functioning are highlighted. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in understanding the complex web of factors that impact how individuals reason. -- Henry Markovits, Professor, Psychology Department, Universite du Quebec a Montreal Author InformationDr. Toplak’s research spans cognitive science and clinical research.
