Free Technology for Teachers Beestar.org - Math and Reading for Kids The Development of Mental Abilities Young children think differently than do older children and adults. Such thinking is not wrong, simply different and age-appropriate. When a preschooler asks, "If I eat spaghetti, will I become Italian?" she reflects, in an original and amusing way, her belief that "you are what you eat." Rather than "correct" the child, we might ask, "What do you think?" Transductive Reasoning The foregoing example illustrates a form of reasoning that is characteristic of young children.

What is missing in transductive reasoning is the major premise, the overriding rule from which a particular conclusion can be deduced. We can observe this transductive approach to causality in many other ways as well. Physiognomic Perception
