| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this thesis is to examine how people search for evidence in their hypothesis
testing, that is, how people search for evidence to test whether or not their hypotheses are
true. In chapter 1, we outline the strategies people use when testing the truth of their
hypotheses, the ftinctions of hypothesis testing, and the relevance of hypothesis testing to
the debate about human rationality. We review the literature of experimental work carried
out in the standard test bed for hypothesis testing in reasoning research - the 2-4-6 task. | |
