Dual-Process Theories of Higher Cognition (2013, unknown): “Similarly, De Neys, Schaeken, and d’Ydewalle (2005a, 2005b) have shown that although participants of higher working memory capacity are better able to retrieve counterexamples to all conditional inferences, they use these selectively to block fallacies but not valid inferences when instructed to…”
The link between deductive reasoning and mathematics (2018, background): “Given that retrieval and inhibition processes are also important for conditional reasoning (e.g., De Neys et al., 2005), we expected that conditional reasoning and arithmetic skills might be related.”
Dual-processing accounts of reasoning, judgment, and social cognition. (2008, background): “…the availability of counterexamples to inferences from semantic memory (Cummins et al. 1991; Thompson 1994, 2000) and the strength of association of counterexamples as measured across both materials and individual participants (De Neys et al. 2005, Markovits et al. 1998, Markovits & Quinn 2002).”
On the resolution of conflict in dual process theories of reasoning (2007, background): “The answer is in fact, no, as De Neys et al. (2005b) demonstrated.”
