Relations between inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning.

چکیده
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 set of arguments, deduction judgments were more affected by validity, and induction judgments were more affected by similarity. Moreover, Experiment 2 showed that fast deduction judgments were like induction judgments-in terms of being more influenced by similarity and less influenced by validity, compared with slow deduction judgments. These novel results pose challenges for a 1-process account of reasoning and are interpreted in terms of a 2-process account of reasoning, which was implemented as a multidimensional signal detection model and applied to receiver operating characteristic data.

متن کاملInductive and deductive reasoning in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study examined the hypothesis that participants diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) show a selective deficit in inductive reasoning but are equivalent to controls in deductive reasoning. METHODS Twenty-five participants with OCD and 25 non-clinical controls made inductive and deductive judgments about a common set of arguments that varied in logic...
متن کاملDifferential involvement of left prefrontal cortex in inductive and deductive reasoning.
While inductive and deductive reasoning are considered distinct logical and psychological processes, little is known about their respective neural basis. To address this issue we scanned 16 subjects with fMRI, using an event-related design, while they engaged in inductive and deductive reasoning tasks. Both types of reasoning were characterized by activation of left lateral prefrontal and bilat...
متن کاملAre There Two Kinds of Reasoning?
Two experiments addressed the issue of how deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning are related. According to the criterion-shift account, these two kinds of reasoning assess arguments along a common scale of strength, however there is a stricter criterion for saying an argument is deductively correct as opposed to just inductively strong. The method, adapted from Rips (2001), was to give tw...

It has been shown that learners' abilities interact with the type of training intervention and effect on training and its outcomes. For this reason, the current research investigated the interaction of reasoning ability with two training methods, namely deductive and empirical methods, in effect on reaction to training evaluation and post training effectiveness. This research was an applied an...
