LSAT Logical Reasoning | Conditional Logic | Better Ways To Understand Conditional Statements

Just about every LSAT course will teach you about diagramming conditional statements with an arrow. This kind of notation definitely has its advantages. But it's not necessarily the only or the best way to visualize what a conditional relationship actually is. In this video I present 3 mental models you can use to picture a conditional statement to help you understand it on a deeper level.

This was super easy to understand and made the concept make so much more sense than how it is taught traditionally

Thank you for the great explanations. Mastering multiple mental models is like wielding a Swiss army knife!

Thank you for this! I feel like you do well with explaining, and helping me connect the dots with understanding conditionals. It also helps me understand, why the contrapositive, of term "B" would not equal "A". Because B could equal a whole lot of other things, and COULD be A, but doesn't necessarily HAVE to be. Which allows me to connect my understanding of placement a little better.

Thank you!! I feel like this just took my understanding of conditional statements to another level!

What people who study law have to realize is that people talk with varied context: - that maybe talking specifically, generally, sometimes, adhoc, or restrictively -- and it can sound the same in English. So LSAT flawed argumentative behavior could be appeal to known context straw men flaws in the real world. Suppose it is up to lawyers to home in very clearly on what a client really means contextually.
