I think if one does a search on “cognitive miser” +”motivated tactician” lots will come up. Here’s a start:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_miser
http://www.psychwiki.com/wiki/Cognitive_Miser

I think we are all cognitive misers AND motivated tacticians — it’s situational. I find it fascinating.

This was frankly the first I’d heard of the so-called cognitive miser, and I confess I’m not familiar with the “motivated tactician”. You’d be helping me and my readers in doing so.

Whether the theory has its critics or not, I thought the puzzles were worth puzzling over. They serve their intended purpose well – making the reader stop to consider how carefully (or not) we think and weigh before we attempt to solve.

Interesting stuff!
