Deductive reasoning involves deciding what must be true given the rules of logic
-
Inductive reasoning involves deciding what is likely
-
Deductive reasoning derives the logically necessary conclusion from the given premises.
-
it can lead to a logical conclusion which conflicts with our knowledge of the world
-
Human deduction is at its poorest when truth and validity clash
-
people bring their knowledge of the real world into the reasoning process
-
Induction is generalizing from cases we have seen to infer information about cases we haven't
-
In the absence of counter examples, all that we can do is gather evidence to support our inductive inference
-
Abduction reasons from a fact to the action that caused it
-
can lead to unreliability as an action preceding an event can be wrongly attributed as the cause of the event.
-
Problem solving is the process of finding a solution to an unfamiliar task
-
Gestalt theory and the problem space theory.
-
productive problem solving involves insight and restructuring of the problem
-
productive and reproductive
-
Reproductive problem solving draws on previous experiences
-
Reproductive problem solving could be a hindrance to finding a solution
-
theory says that problem solving centers around the problem space.
-
People solve novel problems by mapping knowledge in a similar known domain, to it
-
people miss analogous information unless it is semantically close to the problem domain.
-
doesn't this basically say that humans are quite narrow minded, and fail to see a connection between two things unless it's right in front of them??
