【 摘 要 】

Jonathan St. B. T. Evans, in his engaging article “Rationality and the illusion of choice” (Evans, 2014) argues that erroneous answers to questions posed in the study of reasoning and decision-making (RDM) ought not be viewed as irrational, just as errors in other cognitive domains are not viewed as irrational. He attributes misuse of the term partly to use of normative models borrowed from economics or mathematics but even more to an RDM assumption of conscious, controlled rationality. Our intent is to respond to the main tenets of Evans's argument and suggest, instead, that attributing RDM errors to irrationality is proper.
