dc.description.abstract | The psychological validity of inheritance reasoners is clarified.
Elio and Pelletier (1993) presented the first pilot experiment
exploring some of these issues. We investigate other foundational
assumptions of inheritance reasoning with defaults:
transitivity, blocking of transitivity by negative defaults, preemption
in terms of structurally defined specificity and structurally
defined redundancy of information. Responses were
in accord with the assumption of at least limited transitivity,
however, reasoning with negative information and structurally
defined specificity conditions did not support the predictions
of the literature. `Preemptive? links were found to provide
additional information leading to indeterminacy, rather than
providing completely overriding information as the literature
predicts. On the other hand, results support the structural identification
of certain links as redundant. Other findings suggest
that inheritance proof-theory might be excessively guided by
its syntax. | en |
