Expertise and Category-Based Induction 1 Running Head: EXPERTISE AND CATEGORY-BASED INDUCTION Expertise and Category-Based Induction
This paper examines inductive reasoning among experts in a domain. Three types of tree experts (landscapers, taxonomists, and parks maintenance personnel) completed three reasoning tasks. In Experiment 1, participants inferred which of two novel diseases would affect “more other kinds of trees” and provided justifications for their choices. Experiment 2 used modified instructions, asking which ...

متن کاملCategory coherence and category-based property induction.
One important property of human object categories is that they define the sets of exemplars to which newly observed properties are generalized. We manipulated the causal knowledge associated with novel categories and assessed the resulting strength of property inductions. We found that the theoretical coherence afforded to a category by inter-feature causal relationships strengthened inductive ...
متن کاملCategory-Based Induction
An argument is categorical if its premises and conclusion are of the form All members ofC have property F, where C is a natural category like FALCON or BIRD, and P remains the same across premises and conclusion. An example is Grizzly bears love onions. Therefore, all bears love onions. Such an argument is psychologically strong to the extent that belief in its premises engenders belief in its ...
متن کاملFeatures of Similarity and Category-Based Induction
A classic feature-set model of similarity, the contrast model of Tversky (1977), is applied to a range of phenomena in category-based induction. These phenomena include basic similarity effects, typicality and asymmetry effects, diversity effects, effects of projectibility of properties, and contextual influences on similarity. These analyses help to extend the contrast model to a new area of r...
