Properties of inductive reasoning.
This paper reviews the main psychological phenomena of inductive reasoning, covering 25 years of experimental and model-based research, in particular addressing four questions. First, what makes a case or event generalizable to other cases? Second, what makes a set of cases generalizable? Third, what makes a property or predicate projectable? Fourth, how do psychological models of induction add...
متن کاملInductive reasoning about causally transmitted properties.
Different intuitive theories constrain and guide inferences in different contexts. Formalizing simple intuitive theories as probabilistic processes operating over structured representations, we present a new computational model of category-based induction about causally transmitted properties. A first experiment demonstrates undergraduates' context-sensitive use of taxonomic and food web knowle...
متن کاملInductive reasoning
Our aim is to explain a general theory of inductive reasoning which is close enough to the concerns of language studies. In this setup , the optimal prediction rate is assigned to the hypothesis considered most likely by a prior-free form of Bayesian inference. In terms of practical applications a most attractive form of this approach is embodied by the so-called minimum description length (MDL...
متن کاملInductive reasoning.
Inductive reasoning entails using existing knowledge or observations to make predictions about novel cases. We review recent findings in research on category-based induction as well as theoretical models of these results, including similarity-based models, connectionist networks, an account based on relevance theory, Bayesian models, and other mathematical models. A number of touchstone empiric...
متن کاملProperties of the diversity effect in category-based inductive reasoning
Four experiments investigated how people judge the plausibility of categorybased arguments, focusing on the diversity effect, in which arguments with diverse premise categories are considered particularly strong. In Experiment 1 we show that priming people as to the nature of the blank property determines whether sensitivity to diversity is observed. In Experiment 2 we find that people’s hypoth...
