This book brings together both theoretical and empirical research directed toward the role of strategies in deductive reasoning. It offers the first systematic attempt to discuss the role of strategies for deductive reasoning. The empirical chapters correspond well with the main issues in the study of deduction, namely propositional reasoning, spatial reasoning, and syllogistic reasoning. In... Read more

"Strategies, however, have been overlooked in some studies of deductive reasoning. This is one reason why the book Deductive Reasoning and Strategies is appealing--it emphasizes the importance of focusing in on strategies and their role in human reasoning....Deductive Reasoning and Strategies presents a new perspective that will lead to a broader view, and, ultimately, a greater understanding of how reasoning occurs."
