ARE CONDITIONAL AND DISJUNCTION REALLY COMPARABLE?

Liu and Chou theorize that the rules of Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens have equivalent disjunctive forms. They present an experiment using these forms and conclude that, if applied to disjunctive inferences, the rule of Modus Tollens is not more difficult than the rule of Modus Ponens. Their explana...
