“…Of course, the theory attributes, as indicated, Fully Explicit Models to other connectives as well, which can be, in the same way, modified, depending on the circumstances, by modulation. Nonetheless, as also mentioned, the criticisms provided by Baratgin et al (2015) are focused on disjunction. So, what has been said can be considered enough to respond those criticisms.…”

“…As shown by the literature on it, which is very large (just some examples of works about this theory are Johnson-Laird, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012Johnson-Laird, Khemlani, & Goodwin, 2015a, 2015bKhemlani, Orenes, & Johnson-Laird, 2012, 2014Oakhill & Garnham, 1996;Ragni, Sonntag, & Johnson-Laird, 2016), MMT can properly explain many cognitive facts that other approaches cannot. However, Baratgin et al (2015) have raised some criticisms with regard to the way it deals with disjunction. In their view, there are a number of theoretical problems related to the sentences with the word 'or' that are unclear in the theory and that, therefore, allow questioning its accounts and results.…”

“…In this way, in this paper, I will mainly focus on the aspects questioned by Baratgin et al (2015) in order to show that they are not really a problem for MMT, and that it can be even thought that some of them do not make sense under its framework. Nonetheless, to do that, I will firstly describe the general theses of MMT to which it is important to pay attention to achieve that aim.…”

Baratgin and colleagues have questioned certain aspects of the mental models theory related to disjunction. It is truth that, from this last theory, the paper authored by Baratgin et al. (2015) has already been responded. However, I try to further develop that response here by insisting in two important points of the theory: the role that modulation plays in it and the clear differences between its framework and standard logic. In this way, my main aim is to support to a larger extent, by means of theoretical arguments based on its general approach, the idea that the objections presented in the mentioned paper do not really impact the mental models theory.Keywords: disjunction; mental models; modulation RESUMEN Baratgin y sus colaboradores han cuestionado ciertos aspectos de la teoría de los modelos mentales relativos a la disyunción. Es cierto que, desde esta última teoría, el trabajo de Baratgin et al. (2015) ya ha sido respondido. No obstante, aquí se trata de desarrollar en mayor medida tal respuesta insistiendo en dos puntos importantes de la teoría: el rol que la modulación desempeña en su seno y las claras diferencias que existen entre su marco y la lógica estándar. En este sentido, el objetivo principal es apoyar aún más, por medio de argumentos teóricos basados en su enfoque general, la idea de que las objeciones presentadas en el trabajo mencionado no tienen un impacto real en la teoría de los modelos mentales.

Reasoning concerns the cognitive processes by which people draw conclusions from the salient, meaningful pieces of information that they comprehend or observe. Reasoning processes are challenging to investigate because both their initiation and their final product (the inference) can be nonverbal and unconscious. This chapter summarizes recent developments in the science of reasoning. It briefly reviews the differences between “core” patterns of inference, that is, deduction, induction, and abduction: Deductions are inferences that are true in those cases in which the premises are true. Inductions concern all other sorts of reasoning. And abductions are special types of inductions that yield explanatory hypotheses. The chapter then addresses three fundamental debates that engage contemporary reasoning researchers. The first addresses how to separate rational from irrational deductions. The second concerns the relation between deduction and induction. And the third focuses on how people create explanations. The chapter concludes by addressing ways of making progress to a general, unified account of higher‐level reasoning.
