Just to underline my point about the common sense foundations of logic and
general intelligence - I came across this from : Education & Learning to
Think by Lauren B Resnick - (and a section entitled "General Reasoning -
Improving Intelligence).
"Recent research in science problem solving shows that experts do not
respond to problems as they are presented - writing equations for every
relationship described and then using routine procedures for manipulating
equations.Instead they reinterpret the problems, recasting them in terms of
general scientific principles until the solutions become almost
self-evident."
He points out that the same principles apply to virtually all subjects in
the curriculum. I would suggest that those experts are recasting problems
principally in terms of physical common sense models. NARS, it seems to me,
"responds to problems as they are presented."
