Abstract:
Empirical methods have been used to test whether human reasoning conforms to models of reasoning in logic-based artificial intelligence. This work investigates through surveys whether postulates of belief revision and update are plausible with human reasoners. The results show that participants' reasoning tend to be consistent with the postulates of belief revision and belief update when judging the premises and conclusion of the postulate separately.
