{"product_id":"mental-logic-1","title":"Mental Logic","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the past decade, the question of whether there is a mental logic has become subject to considerable debate. There have been attacks by critics who believe that all reasoning uses mental models and return attacks on mental-models theory. This controversy has invaded various journals and has created issues between mental logic and the biases-and-heuristics approach to reasoning, and the content-dependent theorists. However, despite its pertinence to current issues in cognition, few cognitive scientists really know what the mental-logic theory is, and misapprehensions are prevalent. This volume is a comprehensive presentation of the theory of mental logic and its implications for cognition and development, including the acquisition of language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The theory offered here has three parts. Part I is the mental logic \u003ci\u003eper se\u003c\/i\u003e that contains a set of inference schemas. Part II is a reasoning program that applies the schemas in lines of reasoning, including a direct-reasoning routine and more sophisticated indirect-reasoning strategies. Part III of the theory is pragmatic, proposing that the basic meaning of each logic particle is in the inferences that are sanctioned by its inference schemas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256102965592,"sku":"9780805823882","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780805823882_ac497001-a4f0-4cfa-9b16-8cf42da11ebb.jpg?v=1770169528","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/mental-logic-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
