AB It  is  through  clinical  reasoning  that  clinicians  collect,  weigh,  and  combine  the  information  required  to  reach  diagnosis;  decide  which  treatment  is  required;  monitor  treatment  effectiveness;  and  change  their  plans  if  treatment  does  not  work.  The  study  of  clinical  reasoning,  therefore,  concerns  the  cognitive  processes  that  underlie  diagnosis  and  the  planning  and  implementation  of  treatment.
