Hypothetical reasoning - thinking about what might happen in the future or what might have happened in thr past - enables us to go beyond factual reality. We suggest that human reasoners construct a more explicit mental representation of hypothetical conditionals, such as if linda were in Dublin, then Cathy would be in Galway, than of factual conditionals, such as If Linda is in Dublin, then Cathy is in Galway.

Abstract
Hypothetical reasoning - thinking about what might happen in the future or what might have happened in thr past - enables us to go beyond factual reality. We suggest that human reasoners construct a more explicit mental representation of hypothetical conditionals, such as if linda were in Dublin, then Cathy would be in Galway, than of factual conditionals, such as If Linda is in Dublin, then Cathy is in Galway.File in questo prodotto:
