Abstract
This article sheds light on the history of early experimental psychological work on deductive reasoning. We identify Gustav Wilhelm Störring and Johannes Lindworsky as the pioneers of the experimental psychology of deductive logic. After presenting an overview on their life and works, we trace personal and scientific connections to the Würzburg School to help situate them within the scientific community of the 20th century. Our work is intended to present an overview on the life and works of Störring and Lindworsky, focusing on their works on deductive reasoning, to uncover the history of the psychology of reasoning.
