Probabilistic and Deductive Reasoning in the Human Brain
Reasoning is a process of inference from given premises to new conclusions. Deductive reasoning is truth-preserving and conclusions can only be either true or false.

Distinctive Delta and Theta Responses in Deductive and Probabilistic Reasoning [PDF]
Introduction The neural substrates of reasoning, a cognitive ability we use constantly in daily life, are still unclear. Reasoning can be divided into two types according to how the inference process works and the certainty of the conclusions.

Development and validity evidence for the probabilistic reasoning test in undergraduate medical students [PDF]
Background Script Concordance Tests (SCT) are widely used to assess clinical reasoning in medical education, but their use in high-stakes examinations raises concerns related to ambiguity, reliance on expert panels, and limited acceptability among ...

Evaluating and selecting arguments in the context of higher order uncertainty
Human and artificial reasoning has to deal with uncertain environments. Ideally, probabilistic information is available. However, sometimes probabilistic information may not be precise or it is missing entirely.
