By A Customer on November 12, 2001
Format: Hardcover
Sedlmeier was a student and collaborator with Gigerenzer, so anyone knowing anything about the rather nasty debates between Gigerenzer and Kahneman & Tversky will be able to predict the major thrust of the book. Sedlmeier legitimately points out many of the weaknesses and limitations of Kahneman & Tversky's heuristics-and-biases interpretations of statistical reasoning. This, however, has already been done elsewhere many times over. He also takes some liberties, perhaps, in making strong claims about Kahneman and Tversky's pessimism over the learning of normative statistical reasoning skills.
Most of the book is spent showing how Anderson-esque intelligent tutoring systems can "train" people to reason statistically by translating problems of the Kahneman & Tversky variety into frequency representations. Much of this, too, has already been demonstrated elsewhere. The climax of the book, however, is the description of an associationist model of statistical reasoning (divided into neural network and production rule parts) that learns to make probability judgments through its sensitivity to relative frequencies estimated over exposure to repeated events.
While reading through all of this, the reader cannot help wondering why, after having spent most of the book discussing learning and reasoning about statistical problems presented in text format, Sedlmeier is now describing the architecture of a cognitive system that makes judgments based on real-time exposure to repeated events. That is, the author will have us believe, in the end, that because people find it easier to reason *about* frequencies rather than probabilities, the underlying cognitive architecture of statistical reasoning processes must be sensitive to frequencies.
