Knowledge Selection in Category-Based Inductive Reasoning
Current theories of category-based inductive reasoning can be distinguished by the emphasis they place on structured and unstructured knowledge. Theories which draw on unstructured knowledge focus on associative strength, or temporal and spatial contiguity between categories. In contrast, accounts …

Aging and Associative and Inductive Reasoning Processes in Discrimination Learning
… study was to investigate how associative and inductive reasoning processes develop over trials in feature positive (FP) and feature negative (FN) discrimination learning. Younger and older adults completed initial and transfer tasks with either consistent or inconsistent transfer. Participants …

Fast Static Learning and Inductive Reasoning with Applications to ATPG Problems
… nodes in the circuit, as captured by static and inductive invariants, have shown to have a positive impact on a wide range of EDA applications. Techniques such as boolean constraint propagation for static learning and assume-then-verify approach to reason about inductive invariants have been …

Investigating the Domain of Geometric Inductive Reasoning Problems: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis
Matrix inductive reasoning has been a popular research topic due to its claimed relationship with the general factor of intelligence. In this research, four subabilities were identified: working memory, rule induction, rule application, and figure detection. This quantitative study examined the …

The Performance of Children With and Without Language Disorders on Perceptual, Inductive Reasoning, and Deductive Reasoning Cognitive Tasks
… to the type of problem solving skills required: inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, and perceptual. The children without language disorders performed significantly better than the children with language disorders on each of the individual tasks. The group differences were greatest on the …

Building Black Holes: Analogue experiments and analogical reasoning
… are they useful for? Second, how do analogical reasoning and the reasoning underlying analogue experimentation compare to other forms of inductive reasoning? The first question has been controversial ever since experiments in analogue gravity began to reveal effects which are in principle …

The development and pyschmetric properties of a decision making task for use in people with acquired brain injury
… behaviour’, which monitored spontaneous and inductive reasoning in order for the task to be completed. The execution of the Escape Task was studied in 38 participants – 19 with ABI, and 19 neurologically healthy controls. In the uncued version of the Escape Test, performance did not …

A comparative study of fashion design processes in the U.K. women's wear industry (Volume I)
… company and design process variables followed by inductive reasoning to arrive at a series of hypotheses about links and relationships between the variables and culminated in a generalisation about the variables within the fashion design processes and their market segmentation.

What's Relevant For Children With Language-Learning Disorders?
… skills as well as linguistic skills. Encoding, inductive reasoning and analogs have been shown to pose difficulties for these children. Congnitive skills like these all involve separating relevant from irrelevant information on some level, a skill that is important for competent problem solving. …

A Survey of Teaching Strategies Used in California Community College Nursing Programs to Foster Critical Thinking
… taxonomy of higher-order thinking skills; (3) reasoning (or informal logic); (4) reflection, imagining alternatives, challenging beliefs, and creativity; and (5) thinking about thinking, interpreting meaning, and metacognition. Critical thinking teaching strategies used most often, and …

Implications of Self for Content and Process Models of Stereotypes
… intergroup judgments within the Inductive Reasoning Model (IRM). Participants (N=144) were placed into groups using a crossed-categories minimal group paradigm and asked to make judgments about their own and other groups. It was hypothesized that participants with an independent …

An exploratory study of cohesion among co-located and virtual members of virtual, partially distributed groups
… and axial coding using constant comparison and inductive reasoning to identify categories. Findings indicate virtual and co-located participants expressed a sense of cohesion in both task and social areas. Factors of task cohesion include having a shared goal, a commitment to goal achievement …

A Cognitive Task as Enrichment for Chimpanzees (<i>Pan troglodytes</i>) in Sanctuary
… learn more of the cognitive process of inductive reasoning while also assessing the efficacy of a computerized box as a novel form of enrichment to aid in improving the environment of captive chimpanzees. Three social groups at the retired medical research chimpanzee sanctuary Project …

Made in Machismo: Discovering Gender Patterns in Migration Process
… the data collected with the application of inductive reasoning. The migrants interviewed came from Central and South America, where Machismo remains a cultural default. Machismo can be defined as a social pattern in which the Latino male exhibits a strong or exaggerated sense of manliness. …

Relationships in Aging, Cognitive Processes, and Contingency Learning
… indicates that higher level processes, such as inductive reasoning, maybe involved in negative contingency judgment because the associative learning task required some level of hypothesis testing. In contrast, positive contingency learning and judgment could rely primarily on more basic …

Age Differences in Revision of Causal Belief
<p>Inductive reasoning (IR) requires efficient working memory (WM). Research shows that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved during WM tasks and that PFC functioning declines with age. The ability to comprehend and update text-based information requires an intact PFC and efficient WM and IR. The …

Longitudinal relations among parenting daily hassles, child rearing, and prosocial behaviors in Turkish children
… evidence that parenting daily hassles, warmth, inductive reasoning, and physical punishment were significantly associated with children's prosocial behaviors. There was a direct link between parenting daily hassles and prosocial behaviors three years later. Additionally, there was partial …

Exploring the Role of Rural Community–College Partnerships in Sustainable Community Development: A Case Study of Selkirk College, British Columbia, Canada
… qualitative survey and interview data. Deductive reasoning was applied to identify social capital and sustainable community development dimensions, while inductive reasoning was used to identify emergent patterns and themes related to partnership activities and experiences. Findings indicate that …
