A reexamination of the interpretations of errors in formal syllogistic reasoning

One hundred eleven college Ss selected conclusions for 59 syllogisms. These syllogisms varied according to premise pair, figure, and validity status. The results indicated a remarkable consistency in patterns of error preference, regardless of validity status, with all of the preferred errors being accounted for by either atmosphere effect and probabilistic inference or invalid conversion and probabilistic inference.
