Religijne pojmowanie świata jako mentalny model rzeczywistości wynikający z odmiennych stylów poznawczych
Religious understanding of the world as a mental model of reality resulting from different cognitive styles

Summary/Abstract: The development of scientific fields such as evolutionary psychology, cognitive psychology, or cognitive science has led to an increased interest in the relationship between the functioning of cognitive perception mechanisms and strategies, and the dynamic ability to create hypotheses about the functioning of the world. One of the phenomena of human culture increasingly examined in this context is the religious and supranaturalist way of understanding reality. Numerous studies indicate that reasoning defined as religious may result directly from the construction of the mind and is the result of the overactive operation of cognitive mechanisms whose function remains completely unrelated to religion. Some authors even suggest that the religious way of interpreting natural phenomena is the result of the functioning of a specific cognitive style that can be characterized. This article reviews the research focus on animals and people (adolescence period/adults). Moreover, it was analyzed in people with mind theory disorders.
