Rational distinctions and adaptations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2001
Abstract
Stanovich & West (S&W) distinguish between evolutionary rationality and normative rationality, and System 1 and System 2 mental processes. They hold that the main function of System 2 has to do with normative and not evolutionary rationality. We ask how System 2 could then be an adaptation, especially given S&W's own work on individual differences.
