Abstract
Modeling causal conditional reasoning data using SDT: caveats and new insights
Highlights
In deductive reasoning, people are asked to infer the truth of an argument’s conclusion given a set of premises
Formal modeling of deductive reasoning has often been successful by taking the traditional, normative approach
A case in point is the application of signal detection theory (SDT; Macmillan and Creelman, 2005) to the investigation of belief bias in syllogistic reasoning (Dube et al, 2010)
