This edited volume is about how unprejudiced approaches to real human cognition can improve the
design of AI. It covers many aspects of human cognition and across 12 chapters the reader can
explore multiple approaches about the complexities of human cognitive skills and reasoning
always guided by experts from different but complimentary academic fields. A central concept is
explained: blended cognition the natural skill of human beings for combining constantly
different heuristics during their several task-solving activities. Something that was sometimes
observed like a problem as ¿bad reasoning¿ is now the central key for the understanding of the
richness adaptability and creativity of human cognition. The topic of this book connects in a
significant way with the disciplines of psychology neurology anthropology philosophy logics
engineering logics and AI. In a nutshell: understanding better humans for designing better
machines. Any person with interests on natural and artificial reasoning should read this book
as a primary source of inspiration and a way to achieve a critical thinking on these topics.
