    "title": "Symmetric Bias in Reasoning: Error Analysis of Indeterminate Term Series Problems",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In term series problems where multiple mental models can be constructed, partial-order models can be created as mental representations, which make it easier to perceive the symmetry of the terms. To test these hypotheses, we categorized multi-model (indeterminate) term series problems according to the patterns of partial-order models that could be constructed, and analyzed the reasoning performance for each pattern. These results suggest that reasoners tend to use the symmetry of terms to reduce the cognitive load of reasoning. Analysis of the patterns of incorrect answers also suggests that attempts to exploit the symmetry of the term may be biased, leading to errors in reasoning.",
