  2. Inductive reasoning aptitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_reasoning_aptitude

    Inductive reasoning aptitude (also called differentiation or inductive learning ability) measures how well a person can identify a pattern within a large amount of data. It involves applying the rules of logic when inferring general principles from a constellation of particulars.

  3. Inductive reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_reasoning

    Inductive reasoning is any of various methods of reasoning in which broad generalizations or principles are derived from a body of observations. [1] [2] This article is concerned with the inductive reasoning other than deductive reasoning (such as mathematical induction), where the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain given the premises are correct; in contrast, the truth of the ...

  4. New riddle of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_riddle_of_induction

    Based on his theory of inductive logic sketched above, Carnap formalizes Goodman's notion of projectibility of a property W as follows: the higher the relative frequency of W in an observed sample, the higher is the probability that a non-observed individual has the property W. Carnap suggests "as a tentative answer" to Goodman, that all purely ...

  5. Induction puzzles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_puzzles

    Induction puzzles are logic puzzles, which are examples of multi-agent reasoning, where the solution evolves along with the principle of induction. [1] [2]A puzzle's scenario always involves multiple players with the same reasoning capability, who go through the same reasoning steps.

  6. Aleph (ILP) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_(ILP)

    The input to Aleph is background knowledge, specified as a logic program, a language bias in the form of mode declarations, as well as positive and negative examples specified as ground facts. [2] As output it returns a logic program which, together with the background knowledge, entails all of the positive examples and none of the negative ...

  7. Wason selection task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wason_selection_task

    Which card or cards must be turned over to test the idea that if a card shows an even number on one face, then its opposite face is blue? The Wason selection task (or four-card problem) is a logic puzzle devised by Peter Cathcart Wason in 1966. [1] [2] [3] It is one of the most famous tasks in the study of deductive reasoning. [4]

  8. Cognitive test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_test

    It is also essential to understand which cognitive abilities are measured by each test and sub-test. [1] There are also free, searchable websites with compendia of tests and the constructs they measure. Below are a small sample of some of the best-known measures of cognitive abilities and brief descriptions of their content: Inductive reasoning ...

  9. Problem of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_induction

    While deductive logic allows one to arrive at a conclusion with certainty, inductive logic can only provide a conclusion that is probably true. [non-primary source needed] It is mistaken to frame the difference between deductive and inductive logic as one between general to specific reasoning and specific to general reasoning. This is a common ...
