O’Brien Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Keywords reasoning Mental logic modus ponens disjunctions Liu and Chou (2012) presented a two-step theory to describe reasoning both on the four traditional conditional syllogisms and on four parallel syllogisms that replace the conditional with a disjunction. Th is article proposes that although Liu and Chou show that the words if and or play an important role in generating the data they report, their theory provides no explanation of how these words play any role. Th e article also corrects an assertion by López Astorga (2013) that mental-logic theory accounts for the fi ndings of Liu and Chou by interpreting if as the material conditional. Instead I show why mental-logic theory rejects the material conditional and accounts for the data using a procedural- semantics approach to the meaning of logic particles. Th e article concludes that a theory like that of Liu and Chou requires something like mental-logic theory to account for their data. 2014 artículo científico 0716-498X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=65032873015 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=650 Universum.
