Do people use counterexamples or subjective probabilities in uncertain conditional reasoning? Investigating human reasoning with an open response format

2024-07-31

Abstract excerpt

<p>Probabilistic approaches to human reasoning argue that all reasoning processes are inherently probabilistic and based on degrees of belief. To show this, participants are typically presented with scaled response formats, in which they can indicate how strongly they belief in a conclusion. However, the cognitive mechanisms behind uncertain reasoning remain unclear. How do people assess degrees of belief? This pa...
