Inductive Reasoning Research Under Time Pressure Conditions

Inductive reasoning is one of the advanced cognitive processing processes of human beings and plays an important role in individual cognitive system.At present,the neural mechanism of inductive reasoning and other cognitive processing processes such as inductive reasoning,perception and memory are studied mainly by the numerical inductive reasoning paradigm and the type inductive reasoning paradigm,but the following deficiencies are found through the analysis of existing research: First,the type of inductive reasoning material and the influence of environmental factors need to be further explored,and second,the inductive reasoning research lacks the interaction of internal and external influencing factors.In view of the above shortcomings,this study discusses the influence of time pressure on inductive reasoning from the three views of material difficulty,psychological effect and material characteristics,and pays attention to the interaction between the two influencing factors under the compound condition,which provides data evidence for the results of inductive reasoning to be influenced by many factors.Experiment I takes the difficulty(calculating load)of the series inductive reasoning task as the starting point,and analyzes the influence of time pressure factors(strong time pressure,weak time pressure,no time pressure)and difficulty factors(simple,complex)on the results of the inductive reasoning result of the series.The results show that the time pressure-to-series inductive reasoning task has a two-way effect,and the two-way effect of time pressure-peer inductive reasoning is influenced by the difficulty of the reasoning task.Compared with the non-time pressure level,weak time pressure has a catalytic effect on the inductive reasoning task of the subject processing series,while the strong time pressure exerts inhibition on the inductive reasoning task of the subject processing series.When the difficult task is low,the weak time pressure will effectively promote the individual’s work efficiency,strong time pressure inhibits the individual’s work efficiency,and with the increase of task difficulty,the role of weak time pressure on individual work efficiency is reduced,while the inhibition effect of strong time pressure on individual work efficiency is enhanced.Experiment II takes the similarity effect of the text category induction reasoning task as the starting point,analyzes the influence of time pressure factors on the effect of text-based inductive reasoning,and analyzes the effect of similarity factors and time stress factors on the strength of the text inductive reasoning.The experimental results show that both the time pressure factor and the similarity factor have an effect on the task of inductive reasoning,but the two factors do not interact with each other,and are two independent influence factors.With the increase of the similarity of the text inductive reasoning stimulus material,it is more likely that the inference of inductive reasoning is valid,and the assertion of inductive reasoning is increasing.Experiment Ⅲ takes the graphical features of geometry category induction reasoning task as the starting point,analyzes the interaction of time pressure factors and graphical characteristic factors in in inductive reasoning,and examines the influence of different time pressure conditions on the geometric geometry induction reasoning results of different graphic features(color,size,shape).The experimental results show that the main effect of time pressure factor and graph characteristic factor is significant in the geometry induction reasoning task,and has the interaction.Time pressure plays a role in solving the geometric inductive reasoning task at the color level,the time pressure factor has a two-way effect in solving geometry to inductive reasoning task at the dimensional level,and at the shape level,the weak time pressure inhibits the efficiency of individual solution inductive reasoning.Strong time pressure promotes the efficiency of individual solution inductive reasoning.The following conclusions were drawn from this study:(1)Time stressfactors affect the resolution of inductive reasoning tasks and have different effects on inductive reasoning tasks composed of different materials.(2)Internal and external factors interact with each other in solving the number-series inductive reasoning task and geometric feature inductive reasoning task.(3)The influence of internal and external factors on solving the task of inductive reasoning is independent of each other and does not interact with each other.
