Generalizing Functions in Sparse Domains

2019-06-03

Abstract excerpt

<p>We propose that when humans learn sets of relationships they are able to learn the abstract structure or type of a family of relationships, and exploit that knowledge to improve their ability to learn and generalize in the future, especially in the face of sparse or ambiguous data. In two experiments we found that participants choose patterns and extrapolate in ways consistent with sets of previously learned re...
