Sommario/riassunto |
|
Thornton surveys research from a broad range of perspectives in order to explore why successful problem-solving depends less on how smart we are--or, as the pioneering psychologist Jean Piaget claimed, how advanced is our skill in logical reasoning--and more on the factual knowledge we acquire as we learn and interpret cues from the world around us. |
