Understanding, evaluating, and producing arguments: Training is necessary for reasoning skills
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 March 2011
Abstract
This commentary suggests that the general population has much less reasoning skill than is claimed by Mercier & Sperber (M&S). In particular, many studies suggest that the skills of understanding, evaluating, and producing arguments are generally poor in the population of people who have not had specific training.
