dc.description.abstract

This thesis is concerned with subjects' responses to psychological 'reasoning’ tasks. Theoretical interpretations of responses to such tasks can be broadly categorised into logical explanations, that assume that subjects perform an analysis on the structure of the problem and nonlogical explanations, that explain responses as determined by some, logically irrelevant, feature of the problem. In part 1, data from relevant reasoning studies are reviewed with particular reference to identifying separate effects of logical and nonlogical factors. It is concluded that both factors appear to play a role in determining responses.
