Relations between premise similarity and inductive strength.
According to the diversity principle, diverse evidence is strong evidence. There has been considerable evidence that people respect this principle in inductive reasoning. However, exceptions may be particularly informative. Medin, Coley, Storms, and Hayes (2003) introduced a relevance theory of inductive reasoning and used this theory to predict exceptions, including the nondiversity-by-propert...
متن کاملSimilarity And Contrast Relations And Inductive Rules
This paper considers how comparison relations can be integrated within an RST-like model of discourse. We will consider two relations, SIMILARITY (prototypically signalled by connectives like also and too) and CONTRAST (prototypically signalled by connectives like whereas and while). On the face of it. such relations should be easy to fit within an account like RST's. However, they each exhibit...
متن کاملWhy Does Similarity Correlate With Inductive Strength?
It has been repeatedly demonstrated that a robust predictor of the strength of an inductive argument is the similarity between the categories that are the focus of the induction. In this paper we evaluate why similarity is associated with the strength of such arguments. On one view, category similarity makes an argument strong because similarity is partially determined by features that are comm...
متن کاملRelations 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 ...
متن کاملTOPOLOGICAL SIMILARITY OF L-RELATIONS
$L$-fuzzy rough sets are extensions of the classical rough sets by relaxing theequivalence relations to $L$-relations. The topological structures induced by$L$-fuzzy rough sets have opened up the way for applications of topological factsand methods in granular computing. In this paper, we firstly prove thateach arbitrary $L$-relation can generate an Alexandrov $L$-topology.Based on this fact, w...
