Representation and Process in Linear Syllogistic Reasoning.

Sternberg, Robert J.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, v109 n2 p119-59 Jun 1980

Four experiments compared three alternative models of linear syllogistic reasoning: (1) linguistic; (2) spatial; and (3) mixed linguistic-spatial. The mixed model, indicating the importance of both verbal and spatial ability, was supported by all four experiments, and for about three-fourths of the undergraduate students studied. (Author/GDC)
