Taking a Look at Inductive Interference

This theory states that individuals tend to believe certain things or think a certain way because their point of view has

Inductions, a series of examples, can be used to verify a major premise, which can then be the framework for deductions, by applying it to a specific case (minor premise). Deductive reasoning can be structured as a syllogism, a “logical structure that uses the major premise and minor premise to reach a necessary conclusion.” In this case, if the major and minor premise are true, then the conclusion is logically valid. In Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s The Declaration of Sentiments, both induction and deduction are used.

The second fallacy in the paper is Far-Fetched Hypothesis. This is a fallacy of inductive reasoning that is committed when we accept a particular hypothesis when a more acceptable hypothesis, or one more strongly based in fact, is available.

On the other hand, President Obama relied on both inductive and deductive reasoning types (Evans, 2012). Using inductive reasoning, President Obama was able to identify the key issues such as his purpose in improving alliances with countries across world and justified the ideas into a conclusion.

Inductive reasoning stands for the arguments that do not preserve the truth, unlike the deductive reasoning. There is no guarantee in inductive reasoning even if the premises are true that the conclusion will be true. The premises bring forth the probability most in life situations. In inductive reasoning, the premises are described to be weak, implausible or cogent, and they form the basis for the drawn conclusion as the evidence available determines whether the argument is strong or weak.

Watson’s theory was based on the ideas of classical conditioning of Ivan Pavlov who used animals for research and believed that they could be taught anything by watching and copying others. Watson further developed the theory applying it on people’s behaviour, based on the conditioning and training of behaviour and on the belief that anyone could be taught anything as we are all born with the same abilities, disregarding feelings and emotions.

The Hasty Generalization fallacy is an inductive generalization, wherein a sample of the population is responsible for the conclusion representing the entire population. A number of categories are contained in this fallacy, including insufficient statistics, overgeneralization, and samples not accurately represented. The hasty generalization fallacy is often referred to as “jumping to conclusions” or the use of limited samples, and can be prone to instant gratification; the smaller samples and statistics allow for a quicker result although the outcomes could be infinite.

The fourth step in the model refers to the conclusions a person comes to from the reasoning and evidence provided (Foundation for Critical Thinking, 2007). Inference is a process in which facts are derived from concluding that something is true based on a prior situation or deducing information on the basis of the information. Mr. Managadze makes several inferences throughout the letter. For example, he believes that every situation and emotion can fit into the category of love or anger. He believes that people can be happy all the time if they stop listening to the others and take control of their emotions and thoughts as he did. He infers that fear is not real because he remained fearless all semester and blocked out what he perceived as

The purpose of this paper is to argue that Alvin Goldman's paper "A Causal Theory of Knowing" does not solve the problem in Edmund Gettier's paper "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?" To argue the old view of knowledge, Gettier presents a case in which a Subject (S) is justified in believing that a proposition (P) and P entails another proposition (Q). S deduces Q from P and accepts Q. Then S is justified in believing Q. In the first Case that Gettier presents however, P is falsely justified, but Q is a true justified belief: Smith (S) is justified in believing that Jones is the man who will get the job and Jones has ten coins in his pocket (P). Thus, the man who will get the job has ten coins in his pocket (Q). S is justified in

Retroactive interference is when more recent information gets in the way of trying to recall older information. An example would be calling your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend by your new boyfriend/girlfriend’s name. The new name retroactively interferes with the old one, which is clearly problematic for

1989). The difference betwe en the two approaches can be viewed in ter ms of

In his work “Conjectures and Refutations,” Popper discussed several aspects of induction including the topics of conjectures (opinions or conclusions formed on the basis of incomplete information) or tentative theories and refutations (ways to refute an argument, opinion, testimony, doctrine, or theory, through contradicting evidence) or the acts of disproving arguments through counterexamples (Oxford).

On another hand inductive research approach mainly work on different kinds of theories which are totally depend on the data collected from studies .Data is collected for the development of the information and theories are made on that information. It is also called as bottom up approach by which we can touch the top point by moving on the data collected from the respondents. By doing different between inductive and deductive research approach, in deductive approach, there is huge possibility of unexpected result which reduce or slow down the goodwill. Theories are already presents in deductive research approach which cannot be possible in case of inductive research approach.
