University of Notre Dame

In this talk, Professor Sandra Gustafson will summarize the "two systems" model presented by Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman in Thinking, Fast and Slow and relate Kahneman's systems to modes of fast and slow reading. Dr. Gustafson will draw on her last book and describe deliberative reading as a type of slow reading. She will use James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans to model such reading.
