Sample selection and inductive generalization.
In two experiments with adults (N = 126), we examined the influence of sampling procedure on inductive generalization. In predicate sampling, participants learned the category identity of individuals known to possess some property. In subject sampling, individuals selected for category identity were discovered to possess a novel property. In both experiments, sampling procedure influenced induc...
متن کاملFeature Selection for Inductive Generalization
Judging similarities among objects, events, and experiences is one of the most basic cognitive abilities, allowing us to make predictions and generalizations. The main assumption in similarity judgment is that people selectively attend to salient features of stimuli and judge their similarities on the basis of the common and distinct features of the stimuli. However, it is unclear how people se...
متن کاملIt's in the sample: the effects of sample size and sample diversity on the breadth of inductive generalization.
Developmental studies have provided mixed evidence with regard to the question of whether children consider sample size and sample diversity in their inductive generalizations. Results from four experiments with 105 undergraduates, 105 school-age children (M=7.2 years), and 105 preschoolers (M=4.9 years) showed that preschoolers made a higher rate of projections from large samples than from sma...
متن کاملInductive , analogical , and communicative generalization .
Three forms of inductive generalization statistical generalization, variation-based generalization and theory-carried generalization are insufficient concerning case-to-case generalization, which is a form of analogical generalization. The quality of case-to-case generalization needs to be reinforced by setting up explicit analogical argumentation. To evaluate analogical argumentation six crite...
متن کاملLogics for Qualitative Inductive Generalization
The paper contains a survey of (mainly unpublished) adaptive logics of inductive generalization. These defeasible logics are precise formulations of certain methods. Some attention is also paid to ways of handling background knowledge, introducing mere conjectures, and the research guiding capabilities of the logics.
