Defeasible reasoning with legal conditionals.
Valid conclusions can be defeated if people can think of conditions that prevent the consequent to occur although the antecedent is given. The goal of the present research was to investigate how people consider these conditions when reasoning with legal conditionals such as "If a person kills another human, then this person should be punished for manslaughter." In Experiments 1 and 2 legal cond...
متن کاملConditionals in reasoning
The paper presents a non-monotonic inference relation on a language containing a conditional that satisfies the Ramsey Test. The logic is a weakening of classical logic and preserves many of the ‘paradoxes of implication’ associated with the material implication. It is argued, however, that once one makes the proper distinction between supposing that something is the case and accepting that it ...
متن کاملReasoning with Conditionals in Artificial Intelligence
Conditionals of one kind or another are the dominant form of knowledge representation in Artificial Intelligence. However, despite the fact that they play a key role in such different formalisms as production systems and logic programming, there has been little effort made to study the relationships between these different kinds of conditionals. In this paper I present a framework that attempts...
متن کاملReasoning with conditionals containing negated constituents.
Three experiments investigated matching bias in conditional reasoning tasks. Matching bias occurs when Ss ignore negations and match named items. Experiment 1 used an abstract and a thematic version of Evans's (1972) construction task. Results showed that matching may be due to an interaction between task demands and constructing contrast classes when interpreting negations. Experiment 2, which...
متن کاملDeductive reasoning from uncertain conditionals.
This paper begins with a review of the literature on plausible reasoning with deductive arguments containing a conditional premise. There is concurring evidence that people presented with valid conditional arguments such as Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens generally do not endorse the conclusion, but rather find it uncertain, in case (1) the plausibility of the major conditional premise is debata...
