Questions 100-101
Zelda: Dr. Ladlow, a research psychologist, has convincingly demonstrated that his theory about the determinants of rat behavior generates consistently accurate predictions about how rats will perform in a maze. On the basis of this evidence, Dr. Ladlow has claimed that his theory is irrefutably correct.
Anson: Then Dr. Ladlow is not a responsible psychologist, Dr. Ladlow’s evidence does not conclusively prove that his theory is correct. Responsible psychologists always accept the possibility that new evidence will show that their theories are incorrect.
100. Which one of the following can be properly inferred from Anson’s argument?
A. Dr. Ladlow’s evidence that his theory generates consistently accurate predictions about how rats will perform in a maze is inaccurate.
B. Psychologists who can derive consistently accurate predictions about how rats will perform in a maze from their theories cannot responsibly conclude that those theories cannot be disproved.
C. No matter how responsible psychologists are, they can never develop correct theoretical explanations.
D. Responsible psychologists do not make predictions about how rats will perform in a maze.
E. Psychologists who accept the possibility that new evidence will show that their theories are incorrect are responsible psychologists. 想知道E怎么不对?作者: himba 时间: 2004-9-29 12:58
Responsible psychologists always accept the possibility that new evidence will show that their theories are incorrect的逻辑为：IF Responsible ，THEN accept the possibility 。E为该命题的逆命题。故错
