Hogarth shows that he is both a fastidious scientist and a great educator. He explains complicated concepts clearly. He also helps the reader jump around in his book to suit the reader's needs. If you want to either understand intuitive reasoning, or learn how people learn to do it better, this is the book to get.
My job is to develop curriculum at the National Outdooor Leadership School (NOLS) and I find this book very helpful in looking at how people can learn to make better decisions in real field situations.

This volume is not for the casual reader. It is a serious review of the emperical literature and theory surrounding a facinating and controversial aspect of cogative psychology. Since Carl Jung first proposed Intuition as one of the four basic psychological functions, defining this elusive function has posed an ongoing chanellge. The author's oporational definition and review of existing research plus his own elaboration of a comprehensive information processing theory of the origens and functioning of Intuition constitute a major contribution to theories of cognative science.

The role of the unconscious in decision making has become a topic of significant interest in recent years. This book is the best single source of information on this topic. R.Olsen, Decision Scientist.
