Understanding of Logical Necessity: Developmental Antecedents and Cognitive Consequences.
Morris, Anne K.; Sloutsky, Vladimir M.
Child Development, v69 n3 p721-41 Jun 1998
Two studies of adolescents in England and Russia examined the effects of prolonged instruction on students' development of abstract deductive reasoning and understanding of logical necessity in algebraic and verbal reasoning. Results indicated that prolonged instruction emphasizing the metalevel of algebraic deduction contributed to enhanced understanding of logical necessity and that many adolescents do not develop such understanding naturally.
