....What these properties and operations are depends on the task at hand. In many tasks, knowledge about the order or arrangement of image elements is needed. This is the case in tasks like comparing the relative heights of people or the left right front back relations between objects as used by, e.g. (Mani JohnsonLaird, 1982). In Allen inferences, one needs to be able to represent and extract the ordinal relations between the intervals start and endpoints to determine the answer (the Allen relation between intervals A and C, which depends on the ordinal relations between the start and endpoints and only on them) ....

....of logic and its meta theory (cf. Lear 1980) Analysis of this example provides some evidence of the value of the distinction between mars and lars. We will then go on to examine another notation for solving syllogisms, Johnson Laird s Mental Models (mms; Johnson Laird and Steedman 1978, Mani and Johnson Laird 1982, JohnsonLaird 1983, Johnson Laird and Bara 1984, Johnson Laird and Byrne 1991) This system was developed partly as a response to earlier work by Erickson (1974) which interpreted ecs as mars and based a cognitive model of subjects mental syllogistic reasoning (that is, their reasoning without ....

....representations systems. A number of studies have compared the processing of two types of texts. One type continuously determine the spatial relations of a described array of objects; the other type leave spatial relations indeterminate for at least some stretch of text (see for example, Mani and Johnson Laird 1982, Clark 1969a, McGonigle and Chalmers 1986) The following two examples from Mani and Johnson Laird illustrate indeterminacy which remains at the end of the text. Determinate: The spoon is behind the knife. The knife is to the right of the plate. The fork is to the left of the plate. ....

....are multiple neural subsystems, for example supporting spatial and visual memory (Farah et al. 1988) These subsystems allow single pieces of information to be encoded in multiple forms. These multiple encodings within mental representations are, in fact, a productive resource for problem solving (Mani Johnson Laird, 1982; Chi, et al. 1989; Payne, 1993) Despite the fact that we can make some general statements of this kind, the use of mental imagery during problem solving is not universal. Individuals differ in terms of their memory, transfer ability, cognitive preferences, repertoire of notational conventions, ....

....shows that ecs are lars when properly interpreted, and reveals some novel properties of the logical fragment which they can be used to reason over. We will then go on to examine another notation for solving syllogisms, Johnson Laird s Mental Models (mms; Johnson Laird and Steedman 1978, Mani and Johnson Laird 1982, Johnson Laird 1983, Johnson Laird and Bara 1984, Johnson Laird and Byrne 1991) This system was developed partly as a response to earlier work by Erickson (1974) which interpreted ecs as mars and based a cognitive model of subjects mental syllogistic reasoning (that is, their reasoning ....
