Logic: logic is the doctrine of the admissibility or inadmissibility of relations between statements and thus the validity of the compositions of these statements. In particular, the question is whether conclusions can be obtained from certain presuppositions such as premises or antecedents. Logical formulas are not interpreted at first. Only the interpretation, i. e. the insertion of values, e.g. objects instead of the free variables, makes the question of their truth meaningful.

Educational Psychology on Logic - Dictionary of Arguments

Upton I 98
Logic/Educational psychology/Upton: Development of logical thought is not influenced by schooling – it will develop anyway. However, what school does influence is how those skills develop and are manifest, by teaching the language and expectations of a specific cultural setting in relation to particular cognitive tasks (Cole, 1990)(1).
>Linguistic behavior
, >Problem solving.
This happens in two ways. First, children learn the jargon necessary to access academic tests of cognitive ability at school. Second, they learn how to manipulate a new set of linguistic symbols by learning to read and write.
>Language acquisition, >Reading acquisition, >Learning, >Learning theory, cf. >Thinking, >Cognition.
