Individual differences in syllogistic reasoning: deduction rules or mental models?
Two studies examined the correlates of reasoning ability on a syllogistic reasoning task in subjects who lacked formal background in logic. The main issue addressed was the extent to which reasoning proficiency arises from the consideration of multiple possible set relations (mental models) as opposed to explicit or implicit reliance on deduction rules. Evidence for the use of both models and r...
متن کاملStrategies in syllogistic reasoning

We present a computer model that implements the latest account of syllogisms, which is based on the theory of mental models. We also report four experiments that were designed to test this account. Experiments 1 and 2 examined the strategies...

The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between working memory span and syllogistic reasoning performance. In addition, performance for the reasoning task was compared to predictions made by mental model theory and the probability heuristics model. According to mental model theory, syllogisms that require the use of more mental models are more difficult. According to the probabili...

It seems widely accepted that human reasoning cannot be modeled by means of Classical Logic. Psychological experiments have repeatedly shown that participants’ answers systematically deviate from the classical logically correct answers. Recently a new approach on modeling human syllogistic reasoning has been developed which seems to perform the best compared to other state-of-the-art cognitive ...
