Category 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 کاملExpertise 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 کاملRunning-head: Theories, ideals, and property induction Theories, Ideals, and Category-Based Property Induction
One important property of human object categories is that they are the categories to which newly observed properties are likely to be generalized. Another is that such categories often exhibit theoretical coherence. This study examined the relationship between inductive generalization and theoretical coherence by manipulating the causal knowledge associated with novel categories and assessing t...
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 ...
