N2 - Courtesy of experiments carried out by such thinkers as Wason, Johnson-Laird, and Kahneman & Tversky, there is overwhelming empirical evidence that the vast majority of logically untrained humans are unable to reason in context-independent, normatively correct fashion. However, the multi-mind effect, which is predicted by our earlier success at teaching this kind of reasoning, and also by our general theory of human and machine reasoning, shows that while individual persons (with rare exceptions) are unable to solve problems that demand context-independent reasoning, groups of persons can often solve such problems.
