Reasoning strategies for suppositional deductions
Cognition, 1997Deductive reasoning shares with other forms of thinking a reliance on strategies, as shown by the results of three experiments on the nature and development of control strategies to solve suppositional deductions. These puzzles are based on assertors who may or may not be telling the truth, and their assertions about their status as truthtellers and ...

Deductive Reasoning in the Structuralist Approach
Studia Logica, 2012The article presents a deductive system consisting of five postulates meant to capture a structuralist theory of science. The author is of the opinion that the postulates yield a certain degree of completeness. A higher-order semantics is given to the deductive system. Two examples from mechanics illustrate the framework.

Argumentation within deductive reasoning
International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2006Summary: Deductive reasoning is an area related to argumentation where machine-based techniques, notably theorem proving, can contribute substantially to the formation of arguments. However, making use of the functionality of theorem provers for this issue is associated with a number of difficulties and, as we will demonstrate, requires considerable ...

Individual Differences in Deductive Reasoning
The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 2004Three studies are reported, which examined individual differences in deductive reasoning as a function of intellectual ability and thinking style. Intellectual ability was a good predictor of logical performance on syllogisms, especially where there was a conflict between logic and believability. However, in the first two experiments there was no link

Reasoning Patterns of Deductive Reasoning
2011Processes of reasoning are divided into two main types: deductive and reductive. Deductive reasoning begins with a set of premises and concludes with a set of inferences obtained by specified rules of deduction, whereas reductive reasoning tries to obtain a set of premises/causes for an observed set of facts. In this chapter, we present the reader with

Deductive approximate reasoning systems
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 1991A formal deductive view for the theory of approximate reasoning, called AR-1, is introduced. A central feature of this framework is the view of propositions as statements involving the assignment of possible values to variables. A unified method for managing joint variables is given.
