P/PS/35. Rationality of the irrational thinking: deduction and induction.
(2005, 1000 words)
The paper seeks to understand if human thinking is rational or irrational and to uncover cognitive mechanisms that underlie seemingly irrational behaviour. Logical thinking patters of deduction (syllogistic reasoning and conditional reasoning) and induction are analysed. Experiments providing evidence for rationality in human thinking (e.g. internal consistency, confirmation bias) are briefly described.
