【 摘 要 】

Lillo-Unglaube et al. (2014) argue for the employment of more descriptive and experimental accounts on the psychology of argumentation. By utilizing experimental studies concerning the slippery slope and ad hominem arguments using Bayesian (Hahn and Oaksford, 2007) and pragma-dialectic frameworks (Van Eemeren and Grootendorst, 2004), they seek to show how psychology can bring “the cognitive and normative accounts of argumentation closer” (Lillo-Unglaube et al., 2014, p. 5) for an integrated area of research on the psychology of argumentation.
