The Cambridge Handbook of Thinking brings together leading international researchers to provide a comprehensive overview of the field of human thinking. The handbook covers classic and contemporary topics — including reasoning, decision making, problem solving, creativity, concept formation, and cognitive development — and integrates empirical findings with theoretical perspectives. Chapters explore how people think in real‑world contexts, how cognitive processes vary across lifespan and cultures, and the neural and computational bases of thought. Rich with examples from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, artificial intelligence, and education, this volume offers an authoritative and interdisciplinary introduction to the scientific study of thinking.
