Spatial conditionals and illusory inferences
Studies of reasoning often concern specialised domains such as conditional inferences or transitive inferences, but descriptions often cut across such domains, for example: If the circle is to the left of the square then the triangle is to the right of the square. The square is to the right of the circle. The triangle is to the right of the square. Could all three of these assertions be true at...
متن کاملIllusory Inferences about Embedded Disjunctions
The mental model theory of reasoning postulates that individuals construct mental models of the possibilities consistent with premises, and that these models represent what is true but not what is false. An unexpected consequence of this assumption is that certain premises should yield systematically invalid inferences. This prediction is unique amongst current theories of reasoning, because no...

Study 2 showed that irrelevant attributes of social groups are incorporated into the groups’ ste...
