Without inductive reasoning, we couldn't generalize from one
instance to another, derive scientific hypotheses, or predict that
the sun will rise again tomorrow morning. Despite the widespread
nature of inductive reasoning, books on this topic are rare.
Indeed, this is the first book on the psychology of inductive
reasoning in twenty years. The chapters survey recent advances in
the study of inductive reasoning and address questions about how it
develops, the role of knowledge in induction, how best to model
people's reasoning, and how induction relates to other forms of
thinking. Written by experts in philosophy, developmental science,
cognitive psychology, and computational modeling, the contributions
here will be of interest to a general cognitive science audience as
well as to those with a more specialized interest in the study of
thinking.
