Deductive reasoning from uncertain conditionals.
This paper begins with a review of the literature on plausible reasoning with deductive arguments containing a conditional premise. There is concurring evidence that people presented with valid conditional arguments such as Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens generally do not endorse the conclusion, but rather find it uncertain, in case (1) the plausibility of the major conditional premise is debata...
متن کاملDeductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning is the kind of reasoning in which, roughly, the truth of the input propositions (the premises) logically guarantees the truth of the output proposition (the conclusion), provided that no mistake has been made in the reasoning. The premises may be propositions that the reasoner believes or assumptions that the reasoner is exploring. Deductive reasoning contrasts with inductiv...
متن کاملDeductive reasoning.
This article begins with an account of logic, and of how logicians formulate formal rules of inference for the sentential calculus, which hinges on analogs of negation and the connectives if, or, and and. It considers the various ways in which computer scientists have written programs to prove the validity of inferences in this and other domains. Finally, it outlines the principal psychological...
متن کاملDeductive Spatial Reasoning: From Neurological Evidence to a Cognitive Model
Cognitive modeling aims more and more to explain, predict and integrate behavioral data with brain activations found in fMRI studies. In this article we analyze transitive inferences (e.g. A is left of B and B is left of C then A is left of C) during the spatial reasoning processes. Behavioral findings suggest that reasoners tend to construct a mental model from the premises, which they in turn...
متن کاملReasoning with Cause and Effect
This paper summarizes concepts, principles, and tools that were found useful in applications involving causal modeling. The principles are based on structural-model semantics, in which functional (or counterfactual) relationships, representing autonomous physical processes are the fundamental building blocks. The paper presents the formal basis of this semantics, illustrates its application in ...
