Inference Induction and Memory: Do Children and Adults Really Learn Differently
This paper shall discuss “When development and learning decrease memory: Evidence against category-based induction in children” by V.M. Sloutsky and A.V. Fisher. The purpose this essay is twofold. First, I will provide a critical summary of the article and the research in question, referencing other relevant resources in the process.
