| dc.description.abstract | The primary aim of this thesis is to investigate reasoning from counterfactual
conditionals (e.g., if Rosanna had been in Dublin then Anthony would have been in
Roscommon) and to test predictions derived from the mental model theory account of
reasoning from counterfactual conditionals (Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 1991; 2002).
The mental model theory of reasoning proposes that people reason conditionally by
keeping possibilities in mind. We aim to extend the theory to account for the role of
content, tense and linguistic form in reasoning from counterfactual conditionals. | |
