The theory of mental models postulates that conditionals and disjunctions refer to possibilities, real or counterfactual. Factual conditionals, for example,“If there's an apple …
Many prominent systems of non-classical logic are subsystems of what is generally called 'classical logic.'Systems of connexive logic are contra-classical in the sense that they are …
We analyze selected iterated conditionals in the framework of conditional random quantities. We point out that it is instructive to examine Lewis's triviality result, which shows the …
We present two approaches to investigate the validity of connexive principles and related formulas and properties within coherence-based probability logic. Connexive logic emerged …

Various semantics for studying the square of opposition and the hexagon of opposition have been proposed recently. We interpret sentences by imprecise (set-valued) probability …
There is wide support in logic, philosophy, and psychology for the hypothesis that the probability of the indicative conditional of natural language, P (if A then B), is the conditional …

This chapter argues that recent developments in inferentialism in the psychology of reasoning that challenge the suppositional approach advocated by David Over can be …
In this paper we investigate canonical extensions of conditional probabilities to Boolean algebras of conditionals. Before entering into the probabilistic setting, we first prove that the …

A central hypothesis in the new paradigm psychology of reasoning is that beliefs in everyday sentences are rationally reconstructable by probability theory. In particular, beliefs in …
