Deductive reasoning.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 theories of how human reasoners carry out deductions. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

متن کاملThe Mental Models Theory of Deductive Reasoning: Implications for Proof Instruction
There are currently increased efforts to make proof central to school mathematics throughout the grades. Yet, realizing this goal is not easy, as it requires that students master several abilities. In this article, we focus on one such ability, namely, the ability for deductive reasoning. We first offer a conceptualization of proof, which we use to delineate our focus on deductive reasoning. We...

متن کاملDifferential involvement of left prefrontal cortex in inductive and deductive reasoning.
While inductive and deductive reasoning are considered distinct logical and psychological processes, little is known about their respective neural basis. To address this issue we scanned 16 subjects with fMRI, using an event-related design, while they engaged in inductive and deductive reasoning tasks. Both types of reasoning were characterized by activation of left lateral prefrontal and bilat...
