How generics obscure the logic of conditionals
This paper discusses counter‐examples to modus ponens and modus tollens involving modals and quantificational adverbs, and presents new counter‐examples with generic conditionals. We argue that the counter‐examples are spurious, and are explained by the domain‐restricting effects of if ‐clauses. Generic conditionals are especially problematic because the generic operator is silent and detectable only through its interpretive effects. A second, ex…
The effect of cardinality in the pigeonhole principle
The pigeonhole principle is a well-known mathematical principle and is quite simple to understand. It goes as follows: If n items are placed into m containers, and if m<n, then there must be at least one container with more than one item in it. A previous study by Mercier et al. yet found that participants tasked to solve a problem akin to this were unable to correctly solve it when the number n is understood as a quantity (cardinal) instead of a…
Reducing Choice-Blindness? An Experimental Study Comparing Experienced Meditators to Non-Meditators
The mindfulness trait is an intrinsic characteristic of one’s disposition that facilitates awareness of the present moment. Meditation has proven to enhance situational awareness. In this study, we compared the performance of participants that were split into two groups depending on their experience in mindfulness meditation (a control group naive to mindfulness meditation and a group of experienced mindfulness meditators). Choice-blindness happe…
