Some examples of natural human common sense reasoning both in scientific pattern recognition problems and in solving logical games are given. An analysis of inference structure shows that inductive and deductive rules communicate in reasoning. An automated model for detecting the types of woodland from incomplete descriptions of some evidences is also given in this paper. The important part of ...

I. INTRODUCTION A new concept of beliefs called interactiue uxrension which are derivable from two interconnected default reasoning rystems is proposed. and its properties are discussed. Default reasoning proposed by R. Reiter is suitable for incomplete knowledge reasoning in artificial intellJgence, logic programming and deductive database, because it can draw plausible conclusions from the in...

The work concerns formal verification of workflow-oriented software models using the deductive approach. The formal correctness of a model’s behaviour is considered. Manually building logical specifications, which are regarded as a set of temporal logic formulas, seems to be a significant obstacle for an inexperienced user when applying the deductive approach. A system, along with its architect...

Cognitive (brain) training has been a major focus of study in recent years. In applied settings, the excitement regarding this research programme emanates from its prospects for far transfer—defined as observing performance benefits in outcome measures that are contextually, structurally or superficially dissimilar to the trained task (Perkins and Salomon, 1994). By and large, researchers have ...

It is 4pm and I hear the school bus pull up to the house. Soon there is the taunting of a 13-year-old boy followed by the exaggerated screams of an 8-year-old girl. My kids are home from school. Exasperated, I say to my son, " If you want dinner tonight, you better stop tormenting your sister. " Given he doesn't want to go to bed hungry, he needs to draw the correct logical inference. Sure enou...
