“…In order to further analyze people's inferential use of the four deontic modalities, Beller (2008) uses inference tasks with either conditional permissions or conditional obligations as main premises, for example, ''If a person has a The data are taken from Beller (1997) Cogn Process (2010) 11:123-132 127 ticket, then this person may enter'' or ''If a person has no ticket, then this person must stay outside'', respectively. In some tasks people were requested to draw forward inferences (e.g., Peter has a ticket-may he enter?…”

“…However, the proposed schemas have been criticized for theoretical and empirical reasons. While they explicitly refer to the four deontic modalities, they only make partial use of the opposition relations: some possible inferences, which people draw easily, are not covered by the two schemas (e.g., those according to the rules of interchangeability of the deontic modals); and schemas for bans and for releasing a person from obligation are missing altogether (Beller 2008). Moreover, people appeared to be unable to distinguish between the permission schema and the obligation schema in a recognition memory test (Dunbar 2000).…”

“…On a more general level, three basic principles have been proposed as guiding people's representation of deontic conditional rules (Beller 2008). First, if there is no social or moral context, individual behavior is not constrained and people can act at their own discretion.…”

Deontic reasoning is concerned with questions of whether actions are forbidden or allowed, obligatory or not obligatory. This article reviews empirical findings and psychological theories on deontic reasoning with regard to three questions that have guided psychological research during the last decades: How do people's deontic capabilities develop? How well do people perform in deontic reasoning tasks? And how do they represent deontic rules? In conclusion, it is discussed why deontic reasoning-despite astonishing, early developing competencies-is still a complex cognitive activity.

“…Both business rules and FCL rules are based on principles of deontic logic [5] for treating expressions in the form of normative policies, the core of which are obligations, permissions and prohibitions. Deontic constraints express what parties to the contract are required to perform (obligations), what they are allowed to do (permissions), or what they are not allowed to do (prohibitions).…”

Abstract. The main source of changing requirements of the dynamic business environment is response to changes in regulations and contracts towards which businesses are obligated to comply. At the same time, many organizations have their business processes specified independently of their business obligations (which include adherence to contracts laws and regulations). Thus, the problem of mapping business changes into computational systems becomes much more complicated. In this paper we address the problem by providing an automated transformation of business rules into a formal language capable of directly mapping onto executable specifications. The model transformation is consistent with MDA/MOF/QVT concepts using ATL to perform the mapping. Business rules are compliant to SBVR metamodel, and are transformed into FCL, a logic based formalism, known to have a direct mapping onto executable specifications. Both, source and target rules are based on principles of deontic logic, the core of which are obligations, permissions and prohibitions.

“…The authors found evidence of both types of competency by using selection tasks based on violations of the rule, with both causal and deontic statements. Within the framework of deontic conditionals, Beller (2008) differentiates between two types: strong and weak deontic conditionals, depending on whether or not they consider social limits on behaviour, such as prohibitions and permissions respectively.…”

One of the cognitive processes, which has generated more research within the framework of the Psychology of thinking, is human reasoning. Throughout the history of the Psychology of reasoning, one of the experimental tasks most frequently used to study how subjects reason, and why they make mistakes, is the Wason's selection task or the four card problem (Wason, 1966(Wason, , 1968. This work presents the current state of the experimental research on this task, using as a common thread the empirical studies which have highlighted the plasticity of reasoning towards semantic and pragmatic factors.
