| Abstract | The "transitive-chain" theory of syllogistic reasoning proposes that information about set relations is presented in memory by pairs of informational components and that information about set relations is integrated by applying a small set of rules to transitive chains that are found by rearranging informational components stored in memory. The theory was tested against the random and complete combination theories, the conversion theory, and the atmosphere theory in a series of five experiments in which 50 Yale undergraduates and 50 local adults were given 38 to 65 syllogism problems. Response-choice data indicated that the transitive-chain theory accounts well for syllogisms with various types of content, quantifiers, and logical relations (categorical and conditional). Tentative answers are proposed to the following five major problems in the theory of syllogistic reasoning: generality of the processes used in syllogistic reasoning, relationship of syllogistic reasoning to intelligence, representation and combination of premise information, and sources of difficulty in syllogistic reasoning. Tables of experimental data and symbolic and diagrammatic representations of set relations are included. (DF) |
