Heuristics and Biases as Measures of Critical Thinking: Associations with Cognitive Ability and Thinking Dispositions (2008, unknown): “These results converge with those reported in a small body of work indicating that the susceptibility to these biases varies considerably (Bruine de Bruin et al., 2007; Klaczynski, 2001; Parker & Fischhoff, 2005; Stanovich & West, 1998, 2000, 2008).”
The domain specificity and generality of disjunctive reasoning: Searching for a generalizable critical thinking skill (2002, unknown): “…pp. 425–426) In the study to be reported here, we examined whether capacity limitations can explain some of the variance in the ability to think disjunctively by correlating individual differences in cognitive ability with performance across a variety of these problems (see Stanovich & West, 2000).”
Fast, frugal, and rational: How rational norms explain behavior (2003, background): “and classical rationality may be bridged, at least for some individuals, in some circumstances (Stanovich, 1999, although see, for example, Ayton, 2000; Hertwig, 2000).”
The effects of anticipatory emotions on service satisfaction and behavioral intention (2014, unknown): “Following Kahneman, ‘System 1’ thinking relates to intuitive thoughts which come to mind effortlessly, quickly and automatically, while ‘System 2’ relates to reasoning which takes more time, is deliberate, intense and effortful (Kahneman 2003, 2011; Stanovich and West 2000).”
More Is Not Always Better: The Benefits of Cognitive Limits (2003, background): “But this use of heuristics leaves adult human reasoning prone to “severe and systematic errors” (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974, p. 1124), some of them akin to the lapses in reasoning that Piaget’s preoperational children suffered from (such as, violation of class inclusion; see Hertwig, 2000).”
The reasoning skills and thinking dispositions of problem gamblers: a dual‐process taxonomy (2007, unknown): “Many of the tasks employed in our composite measure have become classics in the literature of probabilistic reasoning (Gilovich et al., 2002; LeBoeuf & Shaﬁr, 2005; Nickerson, 2004; Nisbett & Ross, 1980; Shaﬁr & LeBoeuf, 2002; Stanovich & West, 1999, 2000).”
