Abstract:

 How people make inferences between disjunctions and conditionals is a current important question that can test existing main psychological accounts for propositional reasoning.In order to test these accounts,one experiment investigated how relations and inference directions affect human inferences between both.Tworelationships between two basic components(A and B)havebeenstudied,andtheyare inclusive disjunctions and exclusive disjunctions.There were also two inference directions in disjunctions(e.g.,A or B; not-A or B)and conditionals(e.g.,if not-A then B; if A then B)havebeenstudied,and they are disjunction-to-conditional and conditional-to-disjunction.It was found that participants' inferenceswere symmetric between the two inference directions in compatible relations and incompatible relations where two basic components were on different dimensions,but not in the other relations.Belief biases also affected participants' inferences.Which of the two inference directions was easier depended on relations between two basic components,and so was relative.The present overall response pattern is beyond all the existing accounts for inferences between disjunctions and conditionals.The competition between the special knowledge heuristic and the general syntactic meaning comparison heuristic proposed by the author can explain the present dominant responses.
