This book delves into a vast array of captivating psychological effects that shape the way we think, judge, and remember in our daily lives. It features contributions from prominent researchers who define cognitive illusions and debate their theoretical significance: are they evidence of an imperfect human information-processing system, or are they merely side-effects of adaptive cognitive mechanisms? The book explores phenomena such as illusions of control, overconfidence, and hindsight bias, providing a comprehensive overview of each topic through detailed discussions of empirical research, potential explanations, and practical applications. Each chapter includes a description of an experiment that can be used for classroom demonstrations.

This edition has been thoroughly updated with six new chapters to reflect the latest research and shifts in focus within the field, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers studying cognitive illusions, particularly those interested in thinking, reasoning, decision-making, and memory.
