COMPLEX COGNITION
The Psychology of Human Thought

Robert Sternberg & Talia Ben-Zeev
Oxford University Press, 2001

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Readers of this book will have an understanding of recent developments in complex cognition, including methods, history, concepts, representation and acquisition of knowledge, deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, problem solving, decision making, the nature of language, language and thought, intelligence, creativity, expertise, the development of complex cognition, and the teaching of thinking.

This book suggests that from their own subjective point of view, people think sensibly, if not always wholly rationally; from an outside point of view, their thinking may not appear to be rational.

Robert J. Sternberg, Ph.D., is IBM Professor of Psychology and Education at Yale University.

Talia Ben-Zeev, Ph.D., is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Williams College.
