<p align="center"><h1>Strategies in Sentential Reasoning</h1></p>

This dataset repository synthesizes the problems of propositional logic introduced in *Strategies in Sentential Reasoning* by [Van der Henst et al. (2002)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0364021302000745).

The repository contains data for four different experiments, each designed to analyze the different strategies individuals employ in propositional logic.
The data for each experiment is given as a distinct subset of the data repository. For additional details about the data, we refer to the original study by [Van der Henst et al. (2002)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0364021302000745). 

### Comparing Inferential Strategies of Humans and Large Language Models in Deductive Reasoning
In our recent [paper]((https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0364021302000745)) we replicate the first experiment of [Van der Henst et al. (2002)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0364021302000745) to examine inferential strategies employed by large language models (LLMs). Our findings indicate that LLMs display reasoning patterns akin to those observed in humans.
