摘要
Every day we make intuitive decisions--from the mundane choice of what clothes to wear to more important issues such as which new car "feels right" or which person would be "good" for a particular job. To varying degrees, logic plays a role in these decisions, but at a certain point all of us rely on intuition, our sixth sense. Is this the right way to decide? Should we trust our gut feelings? When intuition conflicts with logic, what should we do?
In Educating Intuition , Robin M. Hogarth lays bare this mysterious process so fundamental to daily life by offering the first comprehensive overview of what the science of psychology can tell us about intuition--where it comes from, how it works, whether we can trust it. From this literature and his own research, Hogarth finds that intuition is a normal and important component of thought that has its roots in processes of tacit learning. Environment, attention, experience, expertise, and the success of the scientific method all form part of Hogarth's perspective on intuition, leading him to the surprising--but natural--conclusion that we can educate our sixth sense. To this end he offers concrete suggestions and exercises to help readers develop their intuitive skills and habits for learning the "right" lessons from experience.
Artfully and accessibly combining cognitive science, the latest research in psychology, and Hogarth's own observations, Educating Intuition eschews the vague approach to the topic that has become commonplace and provides instead a wholly engaging and practical guide to enhancing our intuitive skills.

Arguing that intuition is not a mystical state of consciousness that is possessed by a few, but a part of every individual's normal information-processing system, Hogarth analyzes intuition imbedded in cognitive theory. Hoping to improve decision-making skills, he provides a scientifically based platform by which one can educate intuition. The book delves into how intuition is developed, in both negative and positive environments, and it offers practical guidelines for attention, for analytical questioning of perceptions and beliefs, and for applying findings to decision making. This study is extremely well organized and well grounded in theory, research, and practice. Accordingly it will be useful as both secondary reading and companion text for upper-division undergraduate psychology courses and as a research tool for scholars and professionals. J.
