Human Reasoning with Proportional Quantifiers and Its Support by Diagrams
In this paper, we study the cognitive effectiveness of diagrammatic reasoning with proportional quantifiers such as most. We first examine how Euler-style diagrams can represent syllogistic reasoning with proport...

An Empirical Study of Diagrammatic Inference Process by Recording the Moving Operation of Diagrams
In this study, we investigate how people manipulate diagrams in logical reasoning, especially no valid conclusion (NVC) tasks. In NVC tasks, premises are given and people are asked to judge whether “no consequ...

The Efficacy of Diagrams in Syllogistic Reasoning: A Case of Linear Diagrams
We study the efficacy of external diagrams in syllogistic reasoning, focusing on the effectiveness of a linear variant of Euler diagrams. We tested subjects’ performances in syllogistic reasoning tasks where l...
