Description: Inductive Reasoning by Aidan Feeney, Evan Heit Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description 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. The interdisciplinary approach makes it relevant to those interested in psychology (including cognitive and developmental psychology), decision-making philosophy, computer science, and education. Publisher Description Without inductive reasoning, we couldnt 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. The chapters survey recent advances in the study of inductive reasoning and address questions about how it develops, the role of knowledge in induction, how best to model peoples reasoning, and how induction relates to other forms of thinking. Written by experts in philosophy, developmental science, cognitive psychology, and computational modeling, the contributions here will be of interest to a general cognitive science audience as well as to those with a more specialized interest in the study of thinking.
