What is the purpose of models in the context of human performance?
What is the purpose of models in the context of human performance?
- To confuse observations
- To generalize without evidence
- To overfit the data
- To isolate components for closer examination (correct)
Why are models of human performance described as an inductive process?
Why are models of human performance described as an inductive process?
- Because they involve drawing specific conclusions from broad observations
- Because they rely on deductive reasoning
- Because they are based on overfitting data
- Because they start from specific observations to form broader generalizations (correct)
