具有相同解释的陈述往往会相互提供归纳支持。例如，当被告知“许多家具搬运工很难为房子融资”时，秘书们很难为房子融资的判断概率会增加。相反，具有不同解释的陈述会降低彼此的判断概率。被告知许多家具搬运工有背伤，降低了判断秘书有背伤的可能性。我提出两个问题，关于这种折扣的影响。第一，这种减少是取决于解释是相互不相容的，还是发生在解释被认为彼此无关的时候？我发现，一个小折扣效应发生在明显不相关的陈述上。然而，折扣效应还取决于一个外部因素的论点被判断;的组成参数集。第二，解释效果归因于变化的信念提供的声明或响应特定的…
Statements that share an explanation tend to lend inductive support to one another. For example, being told that Many furniture movers have a hard time financing a house increases the judged probability that Secretaries have a hard time financing a house. In contrast, statements with different explanations reduce one another s judged probability. Being told that Many furniture movers have bad backs decreases the judged probability that Secretaries have bad backs. I pose two questions concerning such discounting effects. First, does the reduction depend on explanations being mutually incompatible or does it occur when explanations are deemed irrelevant to one another? I found that a small discounting effect occurred with statements that were blatantly unrelated. However, the discounting effect also depended on a factor external to the argument being judged; the composition of the argument set. Second, are explanation effects attributable to changes in the belief afforded statements or to response-specific ...
