Natura dei modelli mentali e implicazioni categoriali: un’introduzione

Mental models theory by Johnson-Laird is a theory of mind devoted to offer a uniform image of mental processes within the framework of classical cognitivism. Applied to the study of deductive competence, it has shown to have a particular predictive capability, thanks to the development of computer p...
