Abstract

On the basis of the prescriptive theory of inductive reasoning as elaborated by Klauer, a cognition advancement program for primary-schools was developed and evaluated in a sample including twelve primary-school classrooms. The training, which lasted several hours, was implemented on the basis of a pre/posttest-control group design. The results point toward significant increases in inductive reasoning skills in standardized tests. When monitoring the training period, the identified effect is as expected. Possible transfer effects are discussed. The results reinforce the objective of an advancement of inductive reasoning at school.
