Relational inductive biases, deep learning, and graph networks (2018, background): “…complex systems as compositions of entities and their interactions 1 (Navon, 1977; McClelland and Rumelhart, 1981; Plaut et al., 1996; Marcus, 2001; Goodwin and Johnson-Laird, 2005; Kemp and Tenenbaum, 2008), such as judging whether a haphazard stack of objects is stable (Battaglia et al., 2013).”
Design for a working memory. (2009, methodology): “This is, in a nutshell, the mechanism of deductive reasoning as described by the theory of mental models (Goodwin & Johnson-Laird, 2005; Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 1991).”
Darwin's mistake: Explaining the discontinuity between human and nonhuman minds (2008, unknown): “…to believe that something closely approximating the functionality of a PSS is necessary in order to subserve the systematic , higher-order relational inferences of which human subjects are manifestly capable (Gentner 2003; Goodwin & Johnson-Laird 2005; Halford et al. 1998a; Holyoak & Thagard 1995).”
Mental models and human reasoning (2010, unknown): “Similarly, as the complexity of relations increases in problems, the problems become more difficult (37, 82, 83), and they too activate prefrontal cortex (36, 84).”
Impaired relational organization of propositions, but intact transitive inference, in aging: Implications for understanding underlying neural integrity. (2009, background): “To solve these prob- ems, the relations among the premise pairs must be extracted rom memory (“B+D−”) (Goodwin & Johnson-Laird, 2005; Moses, illate, Binns, Davidson, & Ryan, 2008).”
The link between deductive reasoning and mathematics (2018, background): “This finding is in line with previous behavioural (e.g., Goodwin & Johnson-Laird, 2005, 2008; Prado et al., 2008; Vandierendonck & De Vooght, 1997), and neuroimaging (Prado et al., 2011) evidence that transitive inferences utilise a spatial representation (which might be similar to the mental…”
Mental models and cognitive change (2013, background): “Hence, we search for a property or a relation that was not among the premises (Goodwin & Johnson-Laird, 2005, 2008).”
