  • Contract Proposals

    Open AccessPaolo Legrenzi, Guy Politzer et al.ARTICLETheory & Psychology1996

    In this paper we analyse the way in which contract proposals can be expressed in order to be considered as well formed. We limit ourselves to a micro-world containing two parties in interaction (a Speaker and a Hearer), and two utility values (positive and negative) attached to the exchanged goods. A contract is defined as well formed if the exchange would result in an increase in utility for both parties. In that micro-world, 64 forms of contrac…

  • Children's communicative abilities revisited

    Open AccessJoël Pynte, Vittorio Girotto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1991

    The way seven- and nine-year-old French children and adults interpret ambiguous object descriptions was studied in four experiments. All four experiments followed the same basic procedure and consisted of two phases. During the training phase, plastic blocks varying in shape, colour and size were associated with fruit names. Some objects were always given just one label, the generic term, whereas others could be given either the generic or the sp…

  • Reasoning on Deontic Rules

    Vittorio GirottoARTICLEIntellectica Revue de l…1991

    This paper presents a discussion of recent research on how pragmatic knowledge (i.e. knowledge of the content of arguments) affects reasoning. After a brief review of some empirical findings of content effect in the area of conditional reasoning, the complex pattern of content effects observed on a meta-inferential task (Wason's selection task) is considered. A recent approach (the pragmatic schémas theory) which deals with the specific performan…

  • Children's performance in the selection task

    Open AccessVittorio Girotto, Michel Gilly et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology1989Cited by: 2

    Three experiments exploring the effects of the activation of pragmatic schemas on children's reasoning performance are reported. Pragmatic schemas are defined as clusters of rules concerning actions and goals. Previous results indicated that by evoking 'permission' and 'obligation' schemas it is possible to facilitate adults' performance on Wason's selection task as well as that of children in a 'reduced' version of the same task. Experiment 1 de…

  • Social marking, socio‐cognitive conflict and cognitive development

    Open AccessVittorio GirottoARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…1987Cited by: 6References: 6

    This study is concerned with assessing whether social marking, i.e. the correspondence between the cognitive solution of a task and the social relation expressed in the material, is a mechanism of cognitive progress which depends on specific forms of socio‐cognitive conflict or on presence of familiar social relations in the material. In the first experiment 5‐6‐year‐old non‐conserver children were selected during a pre‐test that comprised three …
