Using the Subjective Probability Model to Evaluate Academic Debate Arguments.
Allen, Mike; Kellermann, Kathy
Argumentation and Advocacy, v25 n2 p93-107 Fall 1988
Explores the worth of high impact/low probability arguments as "real world" policy arguments. Evaluates four National Debate Tournament (NDT) final round disadvantages by students using the subjective probability model. Finds that although NDT disadvantages were perceived to be a technically sound form of argumentation, they were not persuasive. (MS)
