Abstract

Two experiments were performed to explore the effects of the types of property and the tasks on the pattern of property inference in a source selection task in which the source objects were to be selected. animals that were globally similar to the target animal was selected as possible sources when the target properties were anatomical. However animals that were strongly associated with the target property were selected when the target properties were about ability In a passive inference task where premises were given. the global similarity between the source objects and the target object differently affected the confidence of the conclusion depending on the types of the target property: The similarity between the source and the target affected the degree of confidence when the target properties were anatomical ones, but did not affect when the target properties were about ability. The results suggested that participants seemed to have primitive understanding of the relevance of sources to the target properties, but did not. spontaneously seek or use the relevant information.

표적속성과 추론과제에 따라 속성추론의 양상이 달라지는지 알아보기 위해 두 개의 실험을 실시하였다. 근거대상이 주어지는 수동적 추론과제에서 표적속성이 해부적인 속성일 때에는 근거대상과 목표대상 간의 전반적 유사성이 중요한 것으로 드러났으나. 표적속성이 능력일 때에는 특별한 경향이 없었다 근거대상을 선정하는 능동적 추론과제에서도 표적속성이 해부적 속성일 때에는 수동적 추론에서와 마찬가지로 목표대상과 전반적 유사성이 높은 대상이 선정되었으나. 표적속성이 능력에 관한 속성일 때에는 표적속성에 대해 연상이 높은 동물이 근거대상으로 선정되는 경향을 보였다. 이 결과는 사람들이 속성의 종류에 따라 정보의 유관성이 다른 것은 알지만 구체적으로 유관 정보를 찾아내지는 않는다는 것을 시사하는 것으로 해석되었다.
