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.
"Strategies, however, have been overlooked in some studies of deductive reasoning. This is one reason why the book Deductive Reasoning and Strategies is appealing--it emphasizes the importance of focusing in on strategies and their role in human reasoning....Deductive Reasoning and Strategies presents a new perspective that will lead to a broader view, and, ultimately, a greater understanding of how reasoning occurs."
