Induction
John H. Holland, Keith J. Holyoak, Richard E. Nisbett, Paul R. Thagard · The MIT Press eBooks · 1986
Two psychologists, a computer scientist, and a philosopher have collaborated to present a framework for understanding processes of inductive reasoning and learning in organisms and machines. Theirs is the first major effort to bring the ideas of several disciplines to bear on a subject that has been a topic of investigation since the time of Socrates. The result is an integrated account that treats problem solving and induction in terms of rulebased mental models. Bradford Books imprint
