Probabilities of conditionals and previsions of iterated conditionals (2020)
Journal Article
Sanfilippo, G., Gilio, A., Over, D. E., & Pfeifer, N. (2020). Probabilities of conditionals and previsions of iterated conditionals. International Journal of Approximate Reasoning: Uncertainty in Intelligent Systems, 121, 150-173. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijar.2020.03.001

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 conditions a conditional must satisfy for its probability to be the...

The Psychology of Uncertainty and Three-Valued Truth Tables (2018)
Journal Article
Baratgin, J., Politzer, G., Over, D. E., & Takahashi, T. (2018). The Psychology of Uncertainty and Three-Valued Truth Tables. Frontiers in Psychology, 9, Article 1479. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01479

Psychological research on people's understanding of natural language connectives has traditionally used truth table tasks, in which participants evaluate the truth or falsity of a compound sentence given the truth or falsity of its components in the...

Understanding Conditionals in the East: A Replication Study of Politzer et al. (2010) With Easterners (2018)
Journal Article
Nakamura, H., Shao, J., Baratgin, J., Over, D. E., Takahashi, T., & Yama, H. (2018). Understanding Conditionals in the East: A Replication Study of Politzer et al. (2010) With Easterners. Frontiers in Psychology, 9, Article 505. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00505

The new probabilistic approaches to the natural language conditional imply that there is a parallel relation between indicative conditionals (ICs) “if s then b” and conditional bets (CBs) “I bet $1 that if s then b” in two aspects. First, the probabi... Read More about Understanding Conditionals in the East: A Replication Study of Politzer et al. (2010) With Easterners.

Utilitarian Moral Judgment Exclusively Coheres with Inference from Is to Ought (2017)
Journal Article
Elqayam, S., Wilkinson, M. R., Thompson, V. A., Over, D. E., & Evans, J. S. B. (2017). Utilitarian Moral Judgment Exclusively Coheres with Inference from Is to Ought. Frontiers in Psychology, 8, Article 1042. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01042

Faced with moral choice, people either judge according to pre-existing obligations (deontological judgment), or by taking into account the consequences of their actions (utilitarian judgment). We propose that the latter coheres with a more general co... Read More about Utilitarian Moral Judgment Exclusively Coheres with Inference from Is to Ought.

Uncertain deduction and conditional reasoning (2015)
Journal Article
Evans, J. S. B., Thompson, V., & Over, D. (2015). Uncertain deduction and conditional reasoning. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, Article 398. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00398

There has been a paradigm shift in the psychology of deductive reasoning. Many researchers no longer think it is appropriate to ask people to assume premises and decide what necessarily follows, with the results evaluated by binary extensional logic....

Bayesian reasoning with ifs and ands and ors (2015)
Journal Article
Cruz, N., Baratgin, J., Oaksford, M., & Over, D. (2015). Bayesian reasoning with ifs and ands and ors. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, Article 192. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00192

The Bayesian approach to the psychology of reasoning generalizes binary logic, extending the binary concept of consistency to that of coherence, and allowing the study of deductive reasoning from uncertain premises. Studies in judgment and decision m... Read More about Bayesian reasoning with ifs and ands and ors.

New normative standards of conditional reasoning and the dual-source model (2014)
Journal Article
Singmann, H., Klauer, C., & Over, D. (2014). New normative standards of conditional reasoning and the dual-source model. Frontiers in Psychology, 5, Article 316. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00316

There has been a major shift in research on human reasoning toward Bayesian and probabilistic approaches, which has been called a new paradigm. The new paradigm sees most everyday and scientific reasoning as taking place in a context of uncertainty,... Read More about New normative standards of conditional reasoning and the dual-source model.
