Framing human inference by coherence based probability logic

Pfeifer, Niki und Kleiter, Gernot D. (2009): Framing human inference by coherence based probability logic. In: Journal of Applied Logic, Bd. 7, Nr. 2: 206 - 217

Abstract

We take coherence based probability logic as the basic reference theory to model human deductive reasoning. The conditional and probabilistic argument forms are explored. We give a brief overview of recent developments of combining logic and probability in psychology. A study on conditional inferences illustrates our approach. First steps towards a process model of conditional inferences conclude the paper.
