Flexible versus structured support for reasoning: enhancing analytical reasoning through a flexible analytic technique

Structured analytic techniques (SATs) help the intelligence community reduce flaws in cognition that lead to faulty reasoning. To ascertain whether SATs provide benefits to reasoning we conducted a...
