    "title": "Gricean maxims influence inductive inference with negative observations",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "A robust finding in category-based induction tasks is for positive observations to raise the willingness to generalize\nto other categories while negative observations lower the willingness to generalize. This pattern is referred to as monotonic\ngeneralization. In earlier work, we have found evidence for non-monotonic generalization when negative observations are\ninvolved. For example, we presented participants with the information that Mozart’s music has a certain property, asking to\njudge the likelihood of the conclusion that Metallica’s music too has the property. We found people more willing to accept the\nconclusion if they were additionally informed that the sound of a falling rock does not have the property. Here, we test the\nhypothesis that non-monotonic generalization following negative observations crucially depends on the reasoner’s assumptions\nregarding the way the arguments were constructed. We find that people may generalize non-monotonically when they assume\nthe observations were intended to be helpful.",
