| Sumario: | The mental models theory predicts that, while conjunctions are easier than disjunctionsfor individuals, when denied, conjunctions are harder than disjunctions. Khemlani, Orenes, andJohnson-Laird proved that this prediction is correct in their work of 2014. In this paper, I analyzetheir results in order to check whether or not they really affect the mental logic theory. My conclusionis that, although Khemlani et al.’s study provides important findings, such findings do not necessarilylead to questioning or to rejecting the mental logic theory. |
