Defeasible reasoning with legal conditionals [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2015 Valid conclusions can be defeated if people can think of conditions that prevent the consequent to occur although the antecedent is given. The goal of the present research was to investigate how people consider these conditions when reasoning with legal conditionals such as "If a person kills another human, then this person should be punished for ...

Cognitive Science, 1987 What philosophers call defeasible reasoning is roughly the same as nonmonotonic reasoning in AI. Some brief remarks are made about the nature of reasoning and the relationship between work in epistemology, AI, and cognitive psychology. This is followed by a general description of human rational architecture.

A rule-based argumentation framework for distributed contextual reasoning in dynamic environments
Dyna, 2021 In this study, we tackled the problem of distributed reasoning in environments in which agents may have incomplete and inconsistent knowledge. Conflicts between agents are resolved through defeasible argumentation-based semantics with a preference ...
