چکیده

In this paper, we deal with a calculus system SLCD (Syllogistic Logic with Carroll Diagrams), which gives a formal approach to logical reasoning with diagrams, for representations of the fundamental Aristotelian categorical propositions and show that they are closed under the syllogistic criterion of inference which is the deletion of middle term. Therefore, it is implemented to let the formalism comprise synchronically bilateral and trilateral diagrammatical appearance and a naive algorithmic nature. And also, there is no need specific knowledge or exclusive ability to understand as well as to use it. Consequently, we give an effective algorithm used to determine whether a syllogistic reasoning valid or not by using SLCD.

Visualizing Syllogisms: Category Pattern Diagrams versus Venn Diagrams

A new diagrammatic notation for Syllogisms is presented: Category Pattern Diagrams, CPDs. A CPD configures different styles of line segments to simultaneously assign quantification values to categorical variables and relations among them. The design of CPDs attempts to coherently visualize the structure of syllogisms at various conceptual levels. In comparison to Venn Diagrams and conventional ...

Using Inclusion Diagrams as an Alternative to Venn Diagrams to Determine the Validity of Categorical Syllogisms

Inclusion diagrams are introduced as an alternative to using Venn diagrams to determine the validity of categorical syllogisms, and are used here for the analysis of diverse categorical syllogisms. As a preliminary example of a possible generalization of the use of inclusion diagrams, consideration is given also to an argument that includes more than two premises and more than three terms, the ...

Graphical notations for syllogisms: How alternative representations impact the accessibility of concepts

Five notations for standard and multi-premise syllogisms are examined. Four are existing notations (verbal propositions, Euler Diagrams, Venn Diagrams and Englebretsen's Linear Diagrams) and one a novel diagrammatic system – Category Pattern Diagrams (CPDs). CPDs integrate spatial location, linear ordering and properties of graphical objects in a comprehensive representational format to encode ...

On the Cognitive Efficacy of Euler Diagrams in Syllogistic Reasoning: A Relational Perspective

Although logic diagrams are widely used as methods for introducing students to elementary logical reasoning, it is still open to debate in cognitive psychology whether diagrams can aid untrained people to successfully conduct deductive reasoning. In our previous work, some empirical evidence was provided for the effectiveness of a certain type of logic diagrams in the process of solving categor...
