مستخلص: People's prior beliefs often lead them to make biased responses that violate logical rules in reasoning tasks. Conflict detection studies have found that biased reasoners can detect the conflict between heuristic beliefs and logical rules despite their ultimately biased responses, leading to the proposal of logical intuition. However, these studies have mainly used simple single-model reasoning tasks, and the generalization of conflict detection research and the boundary conditions of logical intuition still need to be clarified. The current study explores this issue directly by manipulating logical complexity through the number of mental models. Both response time and response confidence data found that reasoners took more time to respond and had lower confidence in their responses when they incorrectly solved conflict problems compared to correctly solving no-conflict problems. Furthermore, none of these differences were influenced by the number of mental models. The results suggest that the biased reasoners were not blind heuristic performers in complex three-model problems and that they at least detected that their heuristic beliefs were problematic. Moreover, there is no difference in conflict detection between single-model and three-model problems, indicating that logical complexity does not affect the conflict detection process. Overall, the current study indicates that successful conflict detection is not specific to simple tasks, extending the scope of conflict detection and logical intuition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
