Counterexamples in sentential reasoning.
How do logically naive individuals determine that an inference is invalid? In logic, there are two ways to proceed: (1) make an exhaustive search but fail to find a proof of the conclusion and (2) use the interpretation of the relevant sentences to construct a counterexample--that is, a possibility consistent with the premises but inconsistent with the conclusion. We report three experiments in...
متن کاملStrategies in sentential reasoning
Four experiments examined the strategies that individuals develop in sentential reasoning. They led to the discovery of five different strategies. According to the theory proposed in the paper, each of the strategies depends on component tactics, which all normal adults possess, and which are based on mental models. Reasoners vary their use of tactics in ways that have no deterministic account....
متن کاملTemporal and spatial relations in sentential reasoning.
The mental model theory postulates that the meanings of assertions, and knowledge about their context can modulate the logical meaning of sentential connectives, such as "if" and "or". One known effect of modulation is to block the representation of possibilities to which a proposition refers. But, modulation should also add relational information, such as temporal order, to models of possibili...
متن کاملIntegrating Analogical and Sentential Reasoning for Perception
Many diverse sources can contribute to the successful interpretation of sensory input. One fundamental problem for perception is integrating these sources into the interpretation process. We present a hybrid methodology for perception that addresses this integration problem. The approach integrates special-purpose analogical representations used to store partially interpreted sensor data with a...
متن کاملCOUNTEREXAMPLES IN CHAOTIC GENERALIZED SHIFTS
In the following text for arbitrary $X$ with at least two elements, nonempty countable set $Gamma$ we make a comparative study on the collection of generalized shift dynamical systems like $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ where $varphi:GammatoGamma$ is an arbitrary self-map. We pay attention to sub-systems and combinations of generalized shifts with counterexamples regarding Devaney, exact Dev...
