Document Summary
Keywords: deductive reasoning, conditional reasoning, dual process theory, syllogistic reasoning, mental logic, mental model theory, belief-bias effect, wason selection task, modus tollens, dual system theory. = cognitive processes that transform given information called the set of premises in order to reach conclusions. Inductive reasoning = goes from the specific to the general: can result in conclusions that contain new information, probable truth, not guaranteed truth. Inductive strength = assuming that inductive reasoning has begun with true premises and followed acceptable principles. Improbable for the premises to be true and the conclusion false. Involves drawing conclusions from premises that are in the form of propositions: can be thought of as an assertion. Compound propositions can be formed out of simple propositions joined by connectives. Fallacies = rule can produce conclusions that are false even if the premises are true. Based on an if a then b construct that posits b to be true if a is true.
