Reviews

`Reasoning has been largely studied using abstract materials unconnected to prior knowledge, and yet much (and probably most) real life reasoning does involve meaningful materials that connect to episodic and semantic memory contents. Feeney and Thompson have assembled an impressive range of contributors to examine the influence of such knowledge on reasoning. The volume is a major contribution and I recommend it strongly.' - Ken Gilhooly, University of Hertfordshire and Brunel University London, UK
