Deontic reasoning reviewed: psychological questions, empirical findings, and current theories.

摘要: Deontic reasoning is concerned with questions of whether actions are forbidden or allowed, obligatory not obligatory. This article reviews empirical findings and psychological theories on deontic regard to three that have guided research during the last decades: How do people’s capabilities develop? well people perform in tasks? And how they represent rules? In conclusion, it discussed why reasoning—despite astonishing, early developing competencies—is still a complex cognitive activity.
