2 Psychologists’ Travails
Note:2@@@@@@@Il matrimonio tra logica e ragione sotto attacco.A. Psicologizza la.logica collegandola al ragionamento. Ma La.logica é esterna alla mente. Frege. La.mente nn ragiona, razionalizza.ci sono dodici teorie sul ragionamento umano. Una caporetto x qualsiasi disciplina scientifica.La scoperta del test di Wason. Molti hanno bias ma anche chi risolve nn risolve ragionando.Aggiungi una negazione e tutti risolvono facilmente.Bottom: eistono due inferenze. Una naturale una nn naturale. Le impieghiamo entrambe. Di solito la prima x risolvere un problema in modo errato. La seconda x giustificare la soluzione errata che abbiamo dato al problema.perche preferiamo l intuito? perché il rapporto successo/consumo eneegetico é.migliore. Qui logica e razionalitá si dividono.

Reason and Logic? It’s Complicated
Note:Tttttttt

Yellow highlight | Location: 597

Logic, it was thought, describes good or correct reasoning.

Yellow highlight | Location: 599

logic defines what reasoning is,

syllogisms
Note:La scoperta di A.

Yellow highlight | Location: 621

go from the intuition that some particular deductions happen to be valid—deductions, for instance, about the Greeks being mortal or about Jack having lent his umbrella to Susan—to a formal account of what makes valid

For more than two thousand years, scholars felt no need to go beyond Aristotelian logic.

deductive logic

Yellow highlight | Location: 636

many logicians saw logic as a purely formal system closely related to mathematics.
Note:Frege

Yellow highlight | Location: 638

the fallacy of “psychologism”:
Note:L idea che la logica riguardi il ragionamento

Yellow highlight | Location: 643

thinking of reasoning as a “logical” process can seem quite natural.

Yellow highlight | Location: 645

The very words “consequence” and “follows” used in logic evoke a time sequence.
Note:Processo

The order of propositions in a logical sequence is no more a genuine temporal order

Psychological processes have duration

when you argue, you start by stating the conclusion

Logic and the psychology of reasoning, which had been so close to one another, have moved in different directions.

Many eminent psychologists chose, for instance, to investigate how people perform with Aristotelian categorical syllogisms.

Yellow highlight | Location: 680

twelve competing theories of syllogistic reasoning,
Note:Si brancola

Yellow highlight | Location: 684

(mental logic, mental models, more recently Bayesian inference, and so on)

Yellow highlight | Location: 686

There is another group of scholars, apart from psychologists, committed to the idea that classical syllogisms are still highly relevant:

Wason introduced a new experimental design, the four-card selection task,

Figure 5. The four cards of the Wason selection task.
Note:EK27

Yellow highlight | Location: 701

“Each card has a letter on one side and a number on the other.

Yellow highlight | Location: 704

Which of these four cards must be turned over to find out whether the following rule is true or false of these four cards: ‘If there is an E on one side of a card, then there is a 2 on the other side’?”
Note:E e T. Con E mi accerto che esista la relazione riguardo ad E. Con 7 che esista solo quella relazione riguardo ad E

Yellow highlight | Location: 715

The correct answer, then, is to select just the E and the 7 cards.

Yellow highlight | Location: 723

Only about 10 percent of participants make the right choice anyhow.

Yellow highlight | Location: 736

Much of the early research aimed at improving people’s poor performance with the selection task.

Yellow highlight | Location: 737

Monetary rewards for good performance? Forget it.

Yellow highlight | Location: 742

the most important finding ever to come out of fifty years of work with the task is that people don’t even use reasoning to resolve a task

Note | Location: 743

Yellow highlight | Location: 747

just add a “not” in the rule, like this: “If there is an E on one side of a card, then there is not a 2 on the other side.”
Note:Ma ecco la scoperta

Yellow highlight | Location: 748

Now, a majority of participants give the right answer.

Yellow highlight | Location: 749

a negation in the rule turns participants into good logical reasoners.

Yellow highlight | Location: 750

in both conditions (with and without the negation in the rule), most participants make exactly the same selection, that of the E and the 2 cards,
Note:Clamoroso

Yellow highlight | Location: 754

people’s answers to the Wason task are based not on logical reasoning but on intuitions of relevance: they turn over the cards that seem intuitively relevant.

Yellow highlight | Location: 784

two modes of inference, one occurring spontaneously and effortlessly and the other—reasoning proper—being on the contrary deliberate and effortful.
Note:Un idea giá di Hume

Yellow highlight | Location: 786

most participants produce both a spontaneous selection of cards and a reasoned explanation of their selection.
Note:Spesso la razionalitá c é ma al posto sbagliati.

Yellow highlight | Location: 787

what type 2 deliberative processes typically do is just rationalize a conclusion that had been arrived at through intuitive

True reasoning (type 2 processes), the theory claimed, is indeed “logical,” but it is quite costly in terms of cognitive resources.
Note:Ragionare stanca

Yellow highlight | Location: 837

Type 1 processes are heuristic shortcuts that, in most ordinary circumstances, do lead to the right judgment.

the lack of high reliability is a price rationally paid for day-to-day speed and ease of inference.
