归类不确定时人们的推理方式研究

The Research of People' Induction when Categorization was Uncertain

该研究采用集中呈现样例的研究范式,探讨了归类不确定情况下,人们的推理方式。实验1控制特征联结频次,考察人们的推理方式是否是基于类别的推理。实验2控制类别中特征的基本概率,考察人们推理方式是否是基于特征联结的推理。实验结果表明,特征推理前不预先归类直接推理时,人们的推理根据目标特征与预测特征联结的频次进行,是基于特征联结的推理;特征推理前预先要求被试归类时,人们的特征推理是基于类别的推理。

The research was interested in how people induce, when categorization was uncertain. Experiment 1 controlled the feature association to investigate whether prediction was based on category. Experiment 2 was interested in whether prediction was based on feature association while controlled the probability of feature in category. The results showed, when subjects predict property directly, the induction was based on feature association. But when they should make an initial categorization judgment, the induction was based on category.
