fMRI Evidence for a Three-Stage Model of Deductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning is fundamental to science, human culture, and the solution of problems in daily life. It starts with premises and yields a logically necessary conclusion that is not explicit in the premises. Here we investigated the neurocognitive processes underlying logical thinking with event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging. We specifically focused on three temporally separ...
متن کاملDeductive Spatial Reasoning: From Neurological Evidence to a Cognitive Model
Cognitive modeling aims more and more to explain, predict and integrate behavioral data with brain activations found in fMRI studies. In this article we analyze transitive inferences (e.g. A is left of B and B is left of C then A is left of C) during the spatial reasoning processes. Behavioral findings suggest that reasoners tend to construct a mental model from the premises, which they in turn...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
The dynamics of deductive reasoning: an fMRI investigation.
Although the basis for deductive reasoning has been a traditional focus of philosophical discussion, the neural correlates and mechanisms that underlie deductive reasoning have only recently become the focus of scientific investigation. In syllogistic deductive reasoning information presented in two related sequential premises leads to a subsequent conclusion. While previous imaging studies hav...
متن کامل"Merds That Laugh Don't Like Mushrooms": Evidence for Deductive Reasoning
The study examines the relationship between the development of logical processes required in deductive reasoning and their ocmsions of use. Verbal syllogism problems were presented to 4to 5-year-old children. The problems were systematically varied in content (fantasy premises; premises incongruent with real-world events; premises congruent with real-world events), form, and order of presentati...
