Negative evidence and inductive generalisation
How do people use past experience to generalise to novel cases? This paper reports four experiments exploring the significance on one class of past experiences: encounters with negative or contrasting cases. In trying to decide whether all ravens are black, what is the effect of learning about a non-raven that is not black? Two experiments with preschool-aged, young school-aged, and adult parti...
متن کاملStimulus generalization in two associative learning processes.
Recent studies involving nonlinear discrimination problems suggest that stimuli in human associative learning are represented configurally with narrow generalization, such that presentation of stimuli that are even slightly dissimilar to stored configurations weakly activate these configurations. The authors note that another well-known set of findings in human associative learning, cue-interac...
متن کاملInductive Learning and Case-Based Reasoning
This paper describes an application of an inductive learning techniques to case-based reasoning. We introduce two main forms of induction, define case-based reasoning and present a combination of both. The evaluation of the proposed system, called TA3, is carried out on a classification task, namely character recognition. We show how inductive knowledge improves knowledge representation and in ...
متن کاملNovelty and Inductive Generalization in Human Reinforcement Learning
In reinforcement learning (RL), a decision maker searching for the most rewarding option is often faced with the question: What is the value of an option that has never been tried before? One way to frame this question is as an inductive problem: How can I generalize my previous experience with one set of options to a novel option? We show how hierarchical Bayesian inference can be used to solv...
متن کاملExplaining compound generalization in associative and causal learning through rational principles of dimensional generalization.
How do we apply learning from one situation to a similar, but not identical, situation? The principles governing the extent to which animals and humans generalize what they have learned about certain stimuli to novel compounds containing those stimuli vary depending on a number of factors. Perhaps the best studied among these factors is the type of stimuli used to generate compounds. One promin...
