Review: Site gives clear introduction to Baye’s Theorem if one does not understand fully from the text. Gives thorough instruction, examples and a fun calculator to test out!

Site #2: http://www.psych.ucalgary.ca/thpsyc/VOLUMES.SI/1991/1.1.Evans.JBT.html
Review of Site #2: This is an article from the Theory & Psychology Journal called Theories of Human Reasoning: The Fragmented State of the Art. The author examines the current state of theory in the psychology of reasoning. It’s a little outdated because it’s from 1991, but I found it to be very interesting. It is a very long article, but the author goes over many interesting topics and provides explanations and examples. I noticed that he referenced the author of our text book as well. I would recommend this if someone wanted a different perspective or just wanted to read more on this subject.

http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/cep/socex/wason.htm

Review: This site provides multiple examples of Wason tasks and demonstrates how the mind interprets the rules of the tasks. Describes the rules and how they work with examples and instruction. We did many exercises similar to these in class for this chapter and this site reinforces those tasks.

Rational: We discussed and worked through these tasks in class and it is vital part in chapter

Site 2:
http://changingminds.org/disciplines/argument/types_reasoning/syllogistic_reasoning.htm
This website is about syllogistic reasoning. This is a lot like what we did in class. It deals with how there is not always logic behind what we think and reason in our minds. There are some examples and it does not go too much further than our book does on the subject matter.

This site gives examples and explanations of tautology and oxymorons. The examples it gives are helpful for clarification, and could be used in a paper if an example was needed.

Rational of tags: Cog3310 to delineate class, reasoning to help those searching for things from the reasoning chapter, or reasoning information in general, tautology and oxymoron- subjects of the site page.

http://aks.rutgers.edu/aksuww/Psych/ConfirmationBias/confirmbias.html

This site gives information about the confirmation bias and provides an activity called dr. aks 2-4-6 sequence rule. Helped me for a clarification and alternative explanation of the confirmation bias by actually showing how one employs the bias when reasoning.

Inductive Logic – plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-inductive/

Review :Excellent source of information if you can digest it. As it gives some history and also some problems. You can put this kind of stuff to use not only in chapter 10, but everyday life. The only problem with using this site is you might get in over your head from the beginning. The Stanford’s Encyclopedia of Philosophy is a gateway to a universe of informaion and you could use anything from here for any purpose as long as it is cited.

Tags : Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Logic, Inductive Logic, Reasoning, Philosophy
Tagged Philosophy because it mostly relates ot that field, Stanford because it is from there Encyclopedia, Logic because it is the subject and hand, Inductive Logic because the type talked about and Reasoning for chapter 10.

Ancient Logic -plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-ancient/

Review: This is where Logic came from and this history. The main person to be talked about of course is Aristotle and it will talk about some of his sysllogisms. Of course Aristotle’s Logic ultimately wasn’t able to work and it was a footboard of modern logic. Interesting stuff to read and shouldn’t be as hard to understand as the first site was.

Logical Operators – en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_operator

Review: Yes it is wikipedia, but I posted this specifically for Professor Chuck. Just look at the basic Logical operators because they all match up. I didn’t read anything just found you a good source to look at them.

An Intuitive Explanation of Bayesian Reasoning
Review: This site gives a detailed explanation of Bayes’s theorem, including examples and problems you can actually work on the screen. It helped me understand it more thoroughly.

Review:
This is a pdf file written on the Mental Model Theory vs. the Inference Rule. It discusses how researchers think the the mental model theory is better and give examples to the different approaches.
It’s a little bit of a longer article but it’s interesting if you want to know a little more information about logical approaches.
