    "abstract": "The mental model theory of reasoning postulates that reasoners build models of the situations described in premises, and that these models normally make explicit only what is true. The theory has an unexpected consequence: it predicts the occurrence of inferences that are systematically invalid. These inferences should arise from reasoners failing to take into account what is false. We report an experiment that corroborated the occurrence of these illusory inferences, and that eliminated a number of altemative explanations for them. Results illuminate the controversy among various current theories of reasoning.",
