Projektbeschreibung

A conditional consists of two parts, an antecedent A and a consequent C. In the traditional interpretation, A is sufficient, but not necessary for C (Evans & Over, 2004).
Evidence from developmental psychology shows that even elementary school students possess some early conditional reasoning skills in familiar contexts. However, there is a research gap between conditional reasoning and mathematical conditionals for elementary school students (Datsogianni, Sodian, Markovits & Ufer, 2020).
In this project, in a first step, we investigate if scaffolds that refer to specific mental actions for abstracting the logic of conditional statements (based on a model by Dawkins and Norton, 2022) lead to an increase in elementary school students' conditional reasoning performance.
