Previous work suggests that inductive and deductive reasoning may be accomplished by different processes. Here, we examine whether different phenomena of inductive reasoning, previously explained in the same way, may rely on different types of processes. In Experiment 1 we show that trials which examine sensitivity to sample size in inductive reasoning have greater effects on secondary task per...

PUPS learning mechanisms center around the representation of causal relationships between objects or events. These learning mechanisms involve (1) a set of principles for inducing causal relationships in absence of a domain theory; (2) a set of analogical mechanisms for extrapolating the causal analysis of one situation in order to predict or problem solve in another situation; and (3) compilat...

Like link analysis, our approach to inductive inference has been concerned with observing behavioral elements or entities; determining how they are related within a specified domain; and describing how these entities may combine to classify or predict (even as-yet-unobserved) behaviors. Both the analysis and inference processes thus can define "all" the behaviors within a domain or "all" the co...

Background: Indonesia is home to approximately 400 active volcanoes located on three different tectonic plates. Thus, the country frequently experiences natural disasters, and health care in emergencies and disasters is important. Therefore, the aim of this  study was to describe nursing students’ experiences of nursing education in disaster nursingat one university in Indonesia.  Materials an...

Background: There are specific challenges regarding the perceptions of families of patients affected with coma in intensive care units. Identification of these perceptions may attract the cooperation of families with nurses and provide better care for patients. This study aims to explore the perceptions of families of patients affected with coma in intensive care units. Methods: It was a quali...
