Complex Problem Solving

About The Book

<p>Although complex problem solving has emerged as a field of psychology in its own right, the literature is, for the most part, widely scattered, and often so technical that it is inaccessible to non-experts. This unique book provides a comprehensive, in-depth, and accessible introduction to the field of complex problem solving. Chapter authors -- experts in their selected domains -- deliver systematic, thought-provoking analyses generally written from an information-processing point of view. Areas addressed include politics, electronics, and computers.</p> <p><b>Contents: Part I:</b><i>Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic.</i><b>K.E. Stanovich, A.E.
