Semifactual: Byrne's account of even-if
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 30 (5-6):458-459 (2007)
| Abstract |
Byrne's approach to the semifactual conditional captures the reasoning data. However, we argue that it does not account for the processes or principles by which people arrive at representations of even-if conditionals, upon which their reasoning is said to be based. Drawing upon recent work on the suppositional conditional we present such an account.
