Short description: Theory in psychology
The mental model theory of reasoning was developed by Philip Johnson-Laird and Ruth M.J. Byrne.[1] It has been applied to major domains of deductive inference, including relational inferences (spatial and temporal reasoning), propositional inferences (conditional, disjunctive and negation reasoning), quantified inferences (syllogisms), and meta-deductive inferences.
Subsequent research on mental models and reasoning has extended the theory to account for probabilistic inference[2] and counterfactual thinking.[3]
