Study Notes
Inductive Reasoning and Knowledge Effects in Categorization
- Lin & Murphy (2001) found stronger induction for thematically related categories than similar ones in specific situations.
- Induction was stronger for low similarity pairs, suggesting reliance on deeper knowledge, not just similarity structure.
- Predicates aren't entirely blank, real-world properties contain structured information.
- The reversal of premise monotonicity in Heusen et. al experiments can be explained by higher-order knowledge effects.
- Voorspoels et. al demonstrated that the source of information affects the likelihood of extending from premise to conclusion.
- Studies on inductive generalization showed varied extension based on expert or random source beliefs.
- Higher-order knowledge affects categorization; the example of size and categorization as a pizza demonstrates this.
- Lin & Murphy (1997) study showed participants' willingness to accept an object as a tuk depended on its condition and missing feature.
- Categorization decisions are not solely based on similarity, participants draw on higher-order knowledge.
- Real-world category features have meaningful associations that influence category learning.
- Participants learned integrated categories faster than neutral ones, indicating the influence of higher-order knowledge.
- Word association studies capture similarity relationships and deeper associations between items.
