‘‘pseudo-transitive” fallacies Experiment 1 established that individuals’ diagrams of certain non-transitive relations yield transitive conclusions Experiment 2 showed that these premises also give rise to fallacious transitive inferences Experiment 3 established that when the context |
Are 'pseudo-transitive' fallacies a consequence of the model theory?
An unexpected consequence of the model theory is that if adult reasoners construct simple models of typical situations, then they should infer transitive relations where, in certain cases, none exists. We report four studies corroborating the occurrence of these “pseudo-transitive” fallacies.
Do individuals make invalid transitive inferences from pseudo-transitive premises?
If individuals draw such diagrams, they are likely to have envisaged corresponding mental models representing the same sort of situations. We then showed that individuals do make invalid transitive inferences from pseudo-transitive premises (Experiment 2). For example, given the problem: Fred is a blood relative of Bob’s.
Do spontaneous or preferred mental models of pseudo-transitive relations yield transitive conclusions?
Together, the two tasks aimed to show that individuals’ spontaneous or preferred mental models of the pseudo-transitive relations yielded transitive conclusions, even though they judged diagrams in which the transitive conclusions did not hold as consistent with the premises.
Is there a difference between pseudo-transitive and transitive relations?
However, a moment’s reflection should convince readers that, in contrast to the pseudo-transitive relations, there is little likelihood of constructing transitive models for such relations. The difference in the models that these relations elicit should lead to different inferences being drawn from them.
