Inductive Selectivity in Childrens Cross-Classified Concepts
Child Development, 07/17/2012
Nguyen SP – Cross–classified items pose an interesting challenge to children’s induction as these items belong to many different categories, each of which may serve as a basis for a different type of inference. Inductive selectivity is the ability to appropriately make different types of inferences about a single cross–classifiable item based on its different category memberships.
