Individual differences and its relationship with conditional reasoning

17 June 2022

I am conducting a study on conditional reasoning: that is, reasoning with sentences of the form “If…then…” The purpose of this study is to understand and establish a possible relationship between the autistic traits and conditional language. Existing research suggests that people use different strategies when they reason with “If…then…” sentences. This study contributes to exploring what factors predict the strategies that reasoners use.
