What is a categorical syllogism? How well can people judge the validity of categorical syllogisms, and what is the difference between validity and truth in syllogistic reasoning?
A syllogism in which the premises and conclusion describe the relationship between two categories by using statements that beginning with all, no or some. Quality of a syllogism whose conclusion follows logically from the premises. if the two premises of a valid syllogism are true, the syllogism's conclusion must be true. the validity of a syllogism is determine by its form, not its content. Truth refer to the content of the premises, which have to be evaluated to determine whether they are consistent with the facts

Describe the Wason four-card problem. Explain what the results of experiments that have used abstract and concrete versions of the problem illustrate about how solving this problem is influenced by concreteness, knowledge of regulations, permission schemas, and an evolutionary perspective on cognition.
As research shows that people are often better at judging the validity of syllogisms whem real world example are substituted for abstract symbols. Thus using Wason four-card problem to explain why the real world problem are easier.
The key to solving the card proplem is to be aware of the falsification principle-b to test a rule, it is necessary to look for situation that would falsify the rule. The role of regulation in the Wason task The role of permissions un the Wason task pragmatic reasoning schema is a way of thinking about cause and effect in the world that is learned as part of ecperiencing everyday life. An example is the permission schema that states that if a person satisfies conditions A, then he or she gets to carry out action B
