Summary

    The suppression task, the selection task, the belief bias effect, spatial rea-
soning and reasoning about conditionals are just some examples of human rea-
soning tasks which have received a lot of attention in the field of cognitive sci-
ence and which cannot be adequately modeled using classical two-valued logic.
I will present an approach using logic programs, weak completion, three-valued
L
� ukasiewicz logic, abduction and revision to model these tasks. In this setting,
logic programs admit a least model and reasoning is performed with respect to
these least models. For a given program, the least model can be computed as
the least fixed point of an appropriate semantic operator and, by adapting the
Core-method, can be computed by a recurrent connectionist network with a
feed-forward core.
