Practitioner review: do performance-based measures and ratings of executive function assess the same construct? (2013, unknown): “For this reason, Stanovich (2009a) has suggested that the term executive processes has been mis-named.”
Why humans are (sometimes) less rational than other animals: Cognitive complexity and the axioms of rational choice (2013, unknown): “…that humans often violate the axioms of rational choice (Bazerman, Tenbrunsel, &Wade-Benzoni, 1998; Kahneman, 2011; Kahneman& Tversky, 1979, 2000; Lichtenstein & Slovic, 2006; Loomes, Starmer, & Sugden, 1991; McFadden, 1999; Shafir & LeBoeuf, 2002; Shafir & Tversky, 1995; Stanovich, 2009, 2011).”
Dual-Process Theories of Higher Cognition (2013, unknown): “Hence, Stanovich (2004, 2009a, 2011) has argued that the execution of Type 1 processes is mandatory when their triggering stimuli are encountered and they are not dependent on input from high-level control systems.”
ACCEL: A New Model for Identifying the Gifted (2016, background): “(Stanovich, 2010), and because gifted people are susceptible to foolishness (Sternberg, 2004a), gifted people are at risk, just like others, for being lured by bad leaders.”
IQ, Expectations, and Choice (2019, unknown): “…and study how it relates to consumption plans, and Coibion et al. (2019), who study how different forms of monetary-policy communications causally change 7For detailed summaries and for the evolution of this long-standing debate over time, see Weinberg (1989) and Stanovich (2009), among others.”
The role of analytic thinking in moral judgements and values (2014, methodology): “…e.g., Kanazawa, 2010; Moore, Clark, & Kane, 2008) or intuitive versus deliberative thinking disposition (e.g., Bartels, 2008; Paxton, Unger, & Greene, 2012), Stanovich theorises that both are key factors in determining the relative influence of analytic processing on behaviour (Stanovich, 2009b).”
Assessment of University Students’ Critical Thinking: Next Generation Performance Assessment (2019, background): “The work of Tversky and Kahneman (1974) opened up a field that has become known as rational thought (e.g., Kahneman, 2011; Stanovich, 2009).”
Evolving Kolb (2015, background): “These processes happen below the surface of consciousness and are regulated/modulated with lower energy consumption compared with full processing at a consciousness level (Gazzaniga et al., 2002; Stanovich, 2009).”
Myside Bias, Rational Thinking, and Intelligence (2013, background): “Recent work on the psychology of rational thinking contradicts this assumption (Kahneman, 2011; Stanovich, 2009).”
Motivated numeracy and enlightened self-government (2017, background): “Comparing these ratios is essential to detecting covariance between the treatment and the two outcomes, a necessary element of causal inference that confounds even many intelligent people (Stanovich & West, 1998; Stanovich, 2009).”
Argumentation, Dialogue Theory, and Probability Modeling: Alternative Frameworks for Argumentation Research in Education (2011, background): “There is currently a raging debate on this issue in psychology (see Stanovich, 2009; Tversky & Kahnman, 1984; vs. J. R. Anderson, 1990; Edwards, 1968; Griffiths et al., 2008; Hahn & Oaksford, 2007), with some taking a middle position (e.g., Juslin, Nilsson, & Winman, 2009; Nickerson, 2004; Reyna,…”
Beyond dichotomies: Competence viewed as a continuum (2015, background): “Also the speed of performance which provides information not available with accuracy (Stanovich, 2009) has increasingly been examined with the advent of computer-based testing.”
Intuition and Reasoning: A Dual-Process Perspective (2010, background): “On this basis, a person who is “intuitive” might be unkindly described as lacking Need for Cognition or being deficient in rational thinking disposition (Stanovich, 2009c).”
An examination of the underlying dimensional structure of three domains of contaminated mindware: paranormal beliefs, conspiracy beliefs, and anti-science attitudes (2020, unknown): “Beliefs that may be unhelpful and that may inhibit reasoning processes have been conceptualized as contaminated mindware (Stanovich, 2009; Stanovich et al., 2008; Stanovich et al., 2016).”
Assessing miserly information processing: An expansion of the Cognitive Reflection Test (2014, background): “…(Evans, 2008; Evans & Stanovich, 2013; Stanovich, 2004) has been amajor theme throughout the past 50 years of research in psychology and cognitive science (Dawes, 1976; Evans, 2010; Johnson-Laird, 1983, 1999;Kahneman, 2011; Simon, 1955, 1956; Stanovich,2009;Taylor, 1981;Tversky&Kahneman,1974).”
Educating the Developing Mind: Towards an Overarching Paradigm (2011, background): “Wisdom generates integrative and balanced judgments and decisions that are rational rather than logical, oriented to the future rather than the present, and to the best interests of many rather than one or few persons (Baltes and Staudinger 2000; Demetriou and Bakracevic 2009; Stanovich 2009).”
