Abstract
Inductive reasoning entails using existing knowledge to make predictions about novel cases.
The first part of this review summarizes key inductive phenomena and critically evaluates theories of induction. We highlight recent theoretical advances, with a special emphasis on the structured statistical approach, the importance of sampling assumptions in Bayesian models, and connectionist modeling.
A number of new research directions in this field are identified including comparisons of inductive and deductive reasoning, the identification of common core processes in induction and memory tasks and induction involving category uncertainty.
The implications of induction research for areas as diverse as complex decision‐making and fear generalization are discussed.
