This book brings together both theoretical and empirical research
directed toward the role of strategies in deductive reasoning. It
offers the first systematic attempt to discuss the role of
strategies for deductive reasoning. The empirical chapters
correspond well with the main issues in the study of deduction,
namely propositional reasoning, spatial reasoning, and syllogistic
reasoning. In addition, several chapters present a theoretical
analysis of deduction, related to the concept strategy. The book
also presents data about the role of strategies for statistical and
social reasoning. This book will be of interest to researchers and
students of cognitive psychology. It will also be of value to
people working in Artificial Intelligence, because it highlights
results on how humans use strategies while tackling deductive
puzzles.

The Mental Models Theory of Reasoning presents theoretical and
empirical research on an area of growing interest, the status of
mental models in deductive reasoning. As research in the framework
of the mental models theory flourishes, this book answers a need to
assess the contribution of the notion of training and content. It
covers the central issues of propositional, relational, causal and
probabilistic reasoning, and argumentation and development. In
addition, this work presents data regarding strategies,
argumentation, and the development of reasoning. Special features
of this text include: *sharp theoretical analyses as well as
important new empirical data offered by theorists who work in the
framework of the mental models theory; *a critical and empirically
driven account of content effects in conditional and linear
reasoning; and *an original account on the influence of pragmatics
on reasoning. The Mental Models Theory of Reasoning will be of
interest to researchers and advanced students of cognitive
psychology, and will be valuable to individuals working in
Artificial Intelligence, as it highlights theoretical and empirical
data on how humans use mental models when tackling deductive
puzzles.
