Resumen

Errors in syllogistic reasoning have been explained either by erroneous interpretations and combinations of premise meanings, or by response bias made by premises� superficial linguistic features. The present paper postulates that both factors are acting. In this experiment, subjects of four different age levels were tested using Euler�s diagrams verification of premises task followed by a syllogistic reasoning task. Significant improvement of performance with age was found, and hypotheses were confirmed for both tasks. The results are interpreted as a criticism for sequential-linear models that deny interaction between codification and inference phases. Likewise, they support an explanation in terms of two error processes: a general task simplification process and a tendency towards �spontaneous� conclusions made by superficial linguistic codification.
