What is the key characteristic of inductive reasoning?
What is the key characteristic of inductive reasoning?
- It is based on conceptual representations
- It is probabilistic and states that given the premises, the conclusion is probable (correct)
- It relies on given true premises to reach a conclusion
- It always leads to a true conclusion

What is the purpose of conceptual representations in inductive reasoning?
- To rely on prior knowledge for making inferences
- To eliminate the need for probabilistic reasoning
- To ensure absolute certainty in conclusions
- To make generalizations and inferences about novel stimuli (correct)
