Fuzzy
Logical Models of Subjective Conjunctions: Comparison among the
Statements about Class Membership, Scene, and Artificial Concepts
T. Yamashita & K. Yamashita |
Two
experiments were performed to investigate how people combine the
truthfulness of component statements to judge the truthfulness of
their conjunctions. In Experiment 1, 29 subjects judged the truthfulness
of component statements and their conjunctions concerning class membership
relation and scene. In Experiment 2, 34 subjects judged the conjunctions
of artificial statements about class membership relation and about
part-whole relation. The three rules for subjective conjunction were
compared in terms of the theory of fuzzy logic. The overall results
show that the minimum rule for fuzzy logical conjunction best approximates
human conjunctions despite the types of statements.
