Cognitive Science Could Be Used in Legal Reasoning—Take Smith v. Van Gorkom Case as an Example ()
ABSTRACT
The newer research finds that our conceptualization and reasoning are grounded in our bodily experience and shaped primarily by patterns of perception and action. We use metaphor to understand the conceptions. Conceptual structures form the basic understanding of the scenario. Holfeldian analysis provides an interpretation of the categories of different entities. The framing and schema drives people’s minds into divergent directions. Smith v. Van Gorkom case is used to interpret the cognitive process.
