I propose that Piaget's F (or at least a variant) is alive and well, because the subjects in question are simply victims of a defective education. With a modicum of the right sort of logic training, humans reason deductively on logic problems well enough to vindicate Piaget.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Long Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/47k8923n", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Selmer", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bringsjord", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Dept. of Philosophy, Psychology & Cognitive Science, Department of Computer Science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Ron", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Noel", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Dept. of Philosophy, Psychology & Cognitive Science, Department of Computer Science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Elizabeth", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bringsjord", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Dept. of Philosophy, Psychology & Cognitive Science, Department of Computer Science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1998-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33205/galley/24265/download/" } ] }
