Relations Between Memory and Reasoning

摘要: Abstract Memory and reasoning are traditionally treated as separate issues by psychologists. In contrast, two lines of research presented that take advantage analogies between memory explore the deeper connections them. The first line takes theoretical ideas (two-process accounts) methodological tools (signal detection analysis, receiver operating characteristic curves) from applies them to important in research: relations induction deduction, belief bias effect. results showed deduction can be conceived drawing on mixtures underlying processes, corresponding heuristic analytic processes. For bias, it was found this result explained terms a simple response without assuming different accuracy for about believable versus unbelievable arguments. second introduces task which subjects make either or judgments same set stimuli. Other than broader generalization memory, were similar tasks, even across variety experimental manipulations. It possible simultaneously explain both tasks within single framework, using exemplar modeling signal modeling.
