Using forced choice to test belief bias in syllogistic reasoning.
In deductive reasoning, believable conclusions are more likely to be accepted regardless of their validity. Although many theories argue that this belief bias reflects a change in the quality of reasoning, distinguishing qualitative changes from simple response biases can be difficult (Dube, Rotello, & Heit, 2010). We introduced a novel procedure that controls for response bias. In Experiments ...
متن کاملIndividual differences in working memory capacity and resistance to belief bias in syllogistic reasoning.
In two experiments, we investigated the possibility that individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) would provide resistance to belief bias in syllogistic reasoning. In Experiment 1 (N = 157), participants showed a belief bias effect in that they had longer response times and decreased accuracy on syllogisms with conflict between the validity and believability of the conclusion tha...
متن کاملNeural correlates of the belief-bias effect in syllogistic reasoning: an event-related potential study.
This study investigated electrophysiological correlates of belief-bias effects in syllogistic reasoning. Event-related brain potentials were recorded for minor premises with which participants were required to draw a logic conclusion during three conditions: the inhibitory belief condition (IBC, the belief is inhibitory to the logical task), the facilitatory belief condition (FBC, the belief is...
متن کاملUnderstanding belief bias by measuring prior beliefs for a Bayesian model of syllogistic reasoning
The phenomenon of belief bias in syllogistic reasoning occurs when the a priori believability of a conclusion influences the intuitive acceptability of that conclusion. Prior beliefs about the world can be formalized into a probabilistic generative model of situations. Tessler and Goodman (2014) proposed that this very idea can account for the range of acceptabilities of conclusions from catego...
متن کاملNecessity, possibility and belief: a study of syllogistic reasoning.
The present study extended the investigation of the belief bias effect in syllogistic reasoning in two ways: (1) The effect was studied under instructions to decide whether conclusions were possible, as well as necessary, given the premises; and (2) the effect was studied for types of syllogism where people rarely endorse the conclusions as well as those (valid and fallacious) where endorsement...
