Evaluation of relational reasoning by a transitive inference task in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
OBJECTIVE Here we explored whether children with ADHD have a deficit in relational reasoning, a skill subtending the acquisition of many cognitive abilities and social rules. METHOD We analyzed the performance of a group of children with ADHD during a transitive inference task, a task requiring first to learn the reciprocal relationship between adjacent items of a rank ordered series (e.g., A...
متن کاملTemporal Reasoning without Transitive Tables
Representing and reasoning about qualitative temporal information is an essential part of many artificial intelligence tasks. Lots of models have been proposed in the litterature for representing such temporal information. All derive from a point-based or an interval-based framework. One fundamental reasoning task that arises in applications of these frameworks is given by the following scheme:...
متن کاملTransitive Reasoning with Imprecise Probabilities
We study probabilistically informative (weak) versions of transitivity, by using suitable definitions of defaults and negated defaults, in the setting of coherence and imprecise probabilities. We represent p-consistent sequences of defaults and/or negated defaults by g-coherent imprecise probability assessments on the respective sequences of conditional events. Finally, we prove the coherent pr...
متن کاملRunning head: TRANSITIVE REASONING IN CAUSAL CHAINS Transitive Reasoning Distorts Induction in Causal Chains
A probabilistic causal chain ABC may intuitively appear to be transitive: If A probabilistically causes B, and B probabilistically causes C, A probabilistically causes C. However, probabilistic causal relations are only transitive if the so-called Markov condition holds. In two experiments, we examined how people make probabilistic judgments about indirect relationships AC in causal chains A...
متن کاملFractionating the neural substrates of transitive reasoning: task-dependent contributions of spatial and verbal representations.
It has long been suggested that transitive reasoning relies on spatial representations in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC). Previous neuroimaging studies, however, have always focused on linear arguments, such as "John is taller than Tom, Tom is taller than Chris, therefore John is taller than Chris." Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we demonstrate here that verbal represe...
