Abstract

It has been recently announced the creation of a New Paradigm in psychology of reasoning. The aim of this paper is to present its foundations and applications. Reflections on innovations when compared to the previous paradigm are proposed.
Three bases are considered:1)the use of a new normative logic that includes truth, falseness among other options, 2) the use of new formal resources such as subjective probability for modeling psychological phenomena, and 3) the use of the general theoretical framework of the dual
mind. It is also discussed the potential applications
of the New Paradigm. Finally, some theoretical and experimental advances are mentioned. We conclude that the New Paradigm is a creative model for research practices on deductive reasoning which can be considered as a work in progress.
