TY - JOUR AU - Trattner, Marvin H. AB - This article demonstrates the congruence of the inductive and deductive models in logic and studies this congruence in the context of new test items designed to exemplify general-to-particular induction, a field virtually untapped in psychology to this date. Results obtained from the study corroborate the logical foundations of deduction and induction as convergent models. Factor analysis of the items demonstrated factorial convergence, which lends additional support to the postulate of convergence.
