Format: Hardcover
Unfortunately, 'Hypothetical Thinking' serves to further devalue the long-ignored, and crucial role, of abstract-associative processes in human thought, and reasoning. Evans main motivation with this work, is to suggest that major relevance of 'system 2' processing in hypothetical thinking. Though he is carefully manipulative in his presentations, a bit of analysis reveals that his argument falls short of 'rational'. Evan's strategy is to discuss what he calls 'hypothetical thinking' in a context which is consistent with his arbitrary 'mental model making', thereby tautologically limiting the notion of 'hypothetical thinking' to the STM/Working memory complex (which is essentially what he implies to be 'System 2'). With his version of 'hypothetical thinking' established, Evans can avoid the contribution of associative-heuristic processes towards 'hypothetical thinking' , as it relates to the generation of hypotheticals, in describing (even partially) associative-based phenomena. For example, in proposing some general and 'probable' explanation to DOG --> 9 LIVES. Which, in this case, under the general form, A ---> B can result in the suggestion of the hypothetical A ---> Superstitious quality(Probabilistic Opposite (A)). Evans, essentially avoids the indisputably ubiquitous role of idea generation (system 1 process), in the design of hypotheticals. Of course, System 2 will ultimately be involved in the design of all hypotheticals (in some almost exclusively), it almost literally, can't think outside of it's own box. Certainly, any reasonable person can see, that there are more 'ifs' that can be generated via the assistance of long-term-memory (System 1), than can be generated through our limited working memory system (System 2), alone.Read more ›
