Review

"The Koslowski book will become a classic on scientific reasoning, problmem solving, and causal understanding. It challenges the model that dominates psychological work on these topics, the human analysis of the psychology of causal thinking. It weaves a beautifully clear treatment of alternative relevant modern philosphical considerations about causal thinking into the presentation of a clever set of experiments. The case is convincing: children and adults do reason in sensible scientific ways in their use of evidence and search for causes. A must for experts in cognitive science, congnitive development, conceptual change and science education."
—Rochel Gelman, Professor of Psychology, UCLA
