Abstract
Abstract An experiment was conducted to determine the role of a salient characteristic in a logical deduction task on the representational and/or processing capabilities of subjects. Subjects worked on a logical problem that was systematically altered by changing the information involved in making a particular deduction. Subjects were more likely to make the deduction under conditions of high salience, even though the logical, or processing demands of the deduction were similar in the high and low salient conditions. This finding suggests that the salience of attributes in logical deduction tasks influences the subjects' representation of them, rather than their processing of such attributes.
