A novel model of clinical reasoning: Cognitive zipper model
Introduction: Clinical reasoning is a vital aspect of physiciancompetence. It has been the subject of academic research fordecades, and various models of clinical reasoning have beenproposed. The aim of the present study was to develop a theoreticalmodel of clinical reasoning.Methods: To conduct our study, we applied the process of theorysynthesis in accordan...
متن کاملCognitive Conditions of Diagrammatic Reasoning
In the first part of this paper, I delineate Peirce’s general concept of diagrammatic reasoning from other usages of the term that focus either on diagrammatic systems as developed in logic and AI or on reasoning with mental models. The main function of Peirce’s form of diagrammatic reasoning is to facilitate individual or social thinking processes in situations that are too complex to be coped...
متن کاملCognitive Modeling for Diagrammatic Design Assistance
Human reasoning about spatial environments, spatial configurations as well as design problems often involves external diagrammatic representations such as sketches, drawings, or maps. Frequently, good usage of diagrams is a prerequisite for success in solving such problems; their properties in reasoning have been frequently described, for example with respect to representational and computation...
متن کاملComprehension of factual, nonfactual, and counterfactual conditionals by Iranian EFL learners
A considerable amount of studies have been established on conditional reasoning supporting mental model theory of propositional reasoning. Mental model theory proposed by Johnson- larid and Byrne is an explanation of someone's thought process about how something occurs in the real world. Conditional reasoning as a kind of reasoning is the way to speak about possibilities or probabilities. The a...
متن کاملOperationalizing Diagrammaticity
In this contribution we present a model for a component of a diagrammatic reasoning system. For reasons of identifying elementary components for diagrammatic reasoning processes we introduce the notions of the elementary diagrammatic inference step (EDIS) and the elementary diagrammatic simulation step (EDSS) as the basic processes for diagrammatic reasoning. The EDIS comprises several descript...
