Hi All,

So I made flashcards for Logical Indicators and Argument Part Indicators and used the Leitner system; but the argument forms aren't all named so I'm not sure how to make them into flashcards or generally memorize them other than stare at them a bunch. Has anyone had any success with memorizing these?

    I made side 1 of flash card the "premises" (e.g., A-most->B->C) then made side 2 the conclusion to be drawn (in this case, A-most->C). That is the key point of memorizing these forms: to draw the inferences, or otherwise determine no inferences can be drawn. I wouldn't list the valid or invalid or the inference in the side you use to prompt yourself.

    Bingo, thanks this makes a lot of sense.

    Nice concept @tanes25413 -- very intuitive to understand as well!

    I think everyone learns a bit differently so you have to try to adopt a method that works for you. I basically just types out a cheat sheet on Word and studied them. It also helped to understand exactly why an argument form is either valid or invalid before trying to just memorize them. I think not fully comprehending the theory behind validity and invalidity made it harder to internalize.
