Moral Schemas and Tacit Judgement or How the Defining Issues Test Is Supported by Cognitive Science.

Narvaez, Darcia; Bock, Tonia

Journal of Moral Education, v31 n3 p297-314 Sep 2002

Discusses three core moral judgement ideas: (1) modern schema theory, (2) automatic decision-making frequency, and (3) implicit processes as the default mode of human information processing. Compares the Defining Issues Test (measures the beginnings of moral judgement) and the Lawrence Kohlberg Moral Judgement Interview (measures the highest level of verbal understanding). (CAJ)
