In Magic and the Mind Eugene Subbotsky provides an overview of the mechanisms and development of magical thinking and beliefs throughout the life span while arguing that the role of this type of thought in human development should be reconsidered. Rather than an impediment to scientific reasoning or a byproduct of cognitive development, magical thinking serves important and necessary functions that are integral to social, cognitive, and psychological development.
