The probabilistic approach to human reasoning.
A recent development in the cognitive science of reasoning has been the emergence of a probabilistic approach to the behaviour observed on ostensibly logical tasks. According to this approach the errors and biases documented on these tasks occur because people import their everyday uncertain reasoning strategies into the laboratory. Consequently participants' apparently irrational behaviour is ...
متن کاملPrécis of bayesian rationality: The probabilistic approach to human reasoning.
According to Aristotle, humans are the rational animal. The borderline between rationality and irrationality is fundamental to many aspects of human life including the law, mental health, and language interpretation. But what is it to be rational? One answer, deeply embedded in the Western intellectual tradition since ancient Greece, is that rationality concerns reasoning according to the rules...
متن کاملA Constraint-Propagation Approach to Probabilistic Reasoning
The paper demonstrates that strict adherence to probability theory does not preclude the use of concurrent, self-activated constraint-propagation mechanisms for managing uncertainty. Maintaining local records of sources-of-belief allows both predictive and diagnostic inferences to be activated simultaneously and propagate harmoniously towards a stable equilibrium.
متن کاملA probabilistic approach to default reasoning
A logic is defined which in addition to propositional calculus contains several types of probabilistic operators which are applied only to propositional formulas. For every s ∈ S, where S is the unit interval of a recursive nonarchimedean field, an unary operator P≥s(α) and binary operators CP=s(α, β) and CP≥s(α, β) (with the intended meaning ”the probability of α is at least s”, ”the condition...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
