| summary | A long line of research, initiated by Luria and Vygotsky, suggests that adults who have had no formal education have great difficulty in reasoning from premises that lie outside of, or conflict with, their ordinary empirical experience. I describe a series of experiments showing, however, that preschool children and adults with no schooling can reason from such premises provided they are prompted to regard the premises as true in a make-believe fashion. Education is not needed to engender such reasoning although it may nurture it. |
