Abstract

Two experiments were conducted to test the predictions of the mental model theory concerning the construction of implicit models and the relevance of implicit models in the evaluation processes. Participants selected the most adequate propositional statements for three cases each of which has two components in Experiment 1. Conditional statements were selected when both components were negated, though biconditional was not frequently chosen. Inclusive disjunctive was preferred over other true statements when either component of cases was negated. Evaluation of a propositional statement against three cases was tested in Experiment 2. Some evidence for the effect of implicit models on the evaluation processes was obtained.
