Relations between inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning.

Relations between inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning.

One of the most important open questions in reasoning research is how inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning are related. In an effort to address this question, we applied methods and concepts from memory research. We used 2 experiments to examine the effects of logical validity and premise-conclusion similarity on evaluation of arguments. Experiment 1 showed 2 dissociations: For a common ...

The Relationship between Reduction and Deductive & Inductive Reasoning

Abductive, Inductive and Deductive Reasoning about Resources

We describe a method for reasoning about programs that uses a mixture of abductive, inductive and deductive inference. It allows us to synthesize a pre/post spec for a program procedure, without requiring any information about the procedure’s calling context. The method can be used to obtain partial specifications for portions of large code bases in the millions of lines of code. The method beg...

Motivation An experiment with a three factorial design is There is a long tradition in studying human described which tests the impact of 1) the dereasoning. Unfortunately, this tradition sepgree of the mapping isomorphism, 2) the difGrates different types of reasoning like deducferences in the types of reasoning (deduction, tion, induction (generalization), analogy and induction, and analogy),...

Deductive and Inductive Reasoning on Spatio-Temporal Data

We present a framework for a declarative approach to spatiotemporal reasoning on geographical data, based on the constraint logical language STACLP, which offers deductive and inductive capabilities. It can be exploited for a deductive rule-based approach to represent domain knowledge on data. Furthermore it is well suited to model trajectories of moving objects, which can be analysed by using ...
