Logical Abilities in Children: Volume 2

<p>Originally published in 1974 the second volume of four (Logical Inference: Underlying Operations) provides a process-model for the solution of certain syllogistic reasoning problems. Testable predictions of the model are easily derived and the available evidence supports the model’s description of the real-time mental steps mediating these logical abilities. A theory of development connected to the model makes these volumes all the more important for cognitive developmental and educational psychologists as well as educators and linguists.</p>
