Critics of intelligence tests - writers such as Robert Sternberg, Howard Gardner, and Daniel Goleman - have argued in recent years that these tests neglect important qualities such as emotion, empathy, and interpersonal skills. However, such critiques imply that though intelligence tests may miss certain key noncognitive areas, they encompass most of what is important in the cognitive domain. In this book, Keith Stanovich challenges this widely held assumption. Stanovich shows that IQ tests (or their proxies, such as the SAT) are radically incomplete as measures of cognitive functioning. They fail to assess traits that most people associate with 'good thinking', skills such as judgement and decision-making. Such cognitive skills are crucial to real-world behaviour, affecting the way we plan, evaluate critical evidence, judge risks and probabilities, and make effective decisions. IQ tests fail to assess these skills of rational thought, even though they are measurable cognitive processes. Rational thought is just as important as intelligence, Stanovich argues, and it should be valued as highly as the abilities currently measured on intelligence tests.
Keith E. Stanovich is Emeritus Professor of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the University of Toronto and former Canada Research Chair of Applied Cognitive Science. He is the author of over 200 scientific articles and seven books. He received his BA degree in psychology from Ohio State University in 1973 and his PhD in psychology from the University of Michigan in 1977.
##基因、模因和理性:斯坦诺维奇的反叛 冬天开始的时候,在地铁上断续读了基思·斯坦诺维奇的《机器人叛乱》、《超越智商》和《决策与理性》三部关于理性(rationality)的作品。 三部曲中,《机器人叛乱》是充满诗意的哲学思辨,《超越理性》是一部中规中矩的心理学作品,《...
评分 评分作者把心智分为三种,没有必要,也是不恰当的。传统分法都是两种,一种自动反应,一种费心思考;前者要么被称为直觉反应,要么被称为感受反应,要么被称为感情反应,要么被称为system 1;后者要么被称为理性反应,要么被称为理智反应,要么称为system 2。 作者所谓反省心智...
评分 评分《大学》里有一句特别出名的话:「知止而后有定,定而后能静,静而后能安,安而后能虑,虑而后能得。 」 止,到底在哪里? 听过很多人对于自己人生梦想或者理想的分享,比如有的追求大自由,描述了人生可能达到的一种状态。不会受到组织的约束、金钱的约束或者是其他的约束。 ...
关于irrationality写得挺中规中矩的一本书,作者还是俺大学的prof!如果对irrationality有兴趣的话,建议看the upside of irrationality,写得通俗又好玩。对于已经完全知晓这一领域,例如Bayesian formula玩的易如反掌的人,要么直接忽略要么recap作者最后一章的cognitive miser架构。

评分把Thinking, Fast and Slow的内容包个“智商”的皮,再到处拿点成果就成书了,那写书也太容易了吧...书中关于Daniel C. Dennett的“直觉泵”倒是不错的指引,贝叶斯公式的应用也初露端倪。
