    Department of Psychology, Durham University, Stockton on Tees, England
    Psychon Bull Rev 14:884-9. 2007
    ..Our results have implications for accounts of individual differences in reasoning, for the relevance theory of induction, and for the recent claim that causal knowledge is important in inductive reasoning...
