Improving Bayesian reasoning : what works and why?

This edited collection was motivated by an interest in understanding how to improve Bayesian reasoning. In that sense, the book before you is pragmatically and prescriptively oriented. Several of the papers address that challenge and some pick up on the important question of why certain factors work as well as they do. However, Improving Bayesian Reasoning: What Works and Why offers more than its editors had bargained for or its title suggests. Many papers offer methodological and conceptual insights that should help readers understand the psychology of Bayesian reasoning as practiced in cognitive science.
