AbstractInductive reasoning entails using existing knowledge or observations to make predictions about novel cases. We review recent findings in research on category‐based induction as well as theoretical models of these results, including similarity‐based models, connectionist networks, an account based on relevance theory, Bayesian models, and other ...

Induction, Reason and Consistency
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1970THE PHILOSOPHICAL CREDENTIALS of inductive logic are controversial. Some philosophers aver that inductive inference is a central feature of rational justification and explanation. Others doubt the epistemic legitimacy of such inference. One defence of inductive logic consists of formulating a rule of inductive inference that avoids paradox and ...

Inductive Reasoning in Alzheimer's Disease
Brain and Cognition, 2001We evaluated knowledge of basic level and superordinate semantic relations and the role of cognitive resources during inductive reasoning in probable Alzheimer's disease (AD). Nineteen mildly demented AD patients and 17 healthy control subjects judged the truthfulness of arguments with a premise and a conclusion that contain familiar concepts coupled ...

Without inductive reasoning, we couldn't generalize from one instance to another, derive scientific hypotheses, or predict that the sun will rise again tomorrow morning. Despite the widespread nature of inductive reasoning, books on this topic are rare. Indeed, this is the first book on the psychology of inductive reasoning in twenty years.

Forward induction reasoning revisited
Theoretical Economics, 2012Battigalli and Siniscalchi (2002) formalize the idea of forward induction reasoning as "rationality and common strong belief of rationality" (RCSBR). Here, we study the behavioral implications of RCSBR across all type structures. Formally, we show that RCSBR is characterized by a solution concept we call Extensive Form Best Response Sets (EFBRS's).

The Philosophical Quarterly, 1961
“F is a good reason for C”, if true at all, could not but have been true — even when F and C are contingent. Much in this claim is true. Much is misleading. Let us sort this out and, en route, discuss a certain pattern of inference, and “the problem of induction”.

Inductive equational reasoning
1996We present a simple learning algorithm for equational reasoning. The Knuth-Bendix algorithm can produce deductive consequences from sets of function equations but cannot deduce anything from grounded equations alone. This motivates an inductive procedure which conjectures function equations from a given database of grounded equations.

Abstract The celebrated Monsieur Leibnitz has observed it to be a defect in the common systems of logic, that they are very copious when they explain the operations of the under standing in the forming of demonstrations, but are too concise when they treat of probabilities, and those other measures of evidence on which life and action ...
