Framing human inference by coherence based probability logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
We take coherence based probability logic as the basic reference theory to model human deductive reasoning. The conditional and probabilistic argument forms are explored. We give a brief overview of recent developments of combining logic and probability in psychology. A study on conditional inferences illustrates our approach. First steps towards a process model of conditional inferences conclude the paper.

Inference in conditional probability logic
An important field of probability logic is the investigation of inference rules that propagate point probabilities or, more generally, interval probabilities from premises to conclusions. Conditional probability logic (CPL) interprets the common sense expressions of the form “if . . . , then . . . ” by conditional probabilities and not by the probability of the material implication. An inferenc...
متن کاملThe Conditional in Mental Probability Logic
Since Störring’s [63] pioneering experiments on syllogistic reasoning at the beginning of last century, experimental psychology has investigated deductive reasoning in the framework of classical logic. The most prominent examples are the theories of mental models [27] and mental rules [8, 59]. A fragment of the model theory of classical logic is central to mental models. Likewise, a fragment of...
متن کاملThe new psychology of reasoning: A mental probability logical perspective
Mental probability logic (MPL) has been proposed as a competence theory of human inference. MPL interprets indicative conditionals as conditional events. While recent probabilistic approaches assume an uncertain relation between the premises and the conclusion, the consequence relation remains deductive in MPL. The underlying rationality framework of MPL is coherence based probability logic. I ...
متن کاملROBUSTNESS OF THE TRIPLE IMPLICATION INFERENCE METHOD BASED ON THE WEIGHTED LOGIC METRIC
This paper focuses on the robustness problem of full implication triple implication inference method for fuzzy reasoning. First of all, based on strong regular implication, the weighted logic metric for measuring distance between two fuzzy sets is proposed. Besides, under this metric, some robustness results of the triple implication method are obtained, which demonstrates that the triple impli...
متن کاملPrecise Propagation of Upper and Lower Probability Bounds in System P
In this paper we consider the inference rules of System P in the framework of coherent imprecise probabilistic assessments. Exploiting our algorithms, we propagate the lower and upper probability bounds associated with the conditional assertions of a given knowledge base, automatically obtaining the precise probability bounds for the derived conclusions of the inference rules. This allows a mor...
