The mental processes underlying everyday predictive and postdictive judgments about objects undergoing change or no change were studied with 40 adults. Results supported a single information processing model for describing performance on both prediction and postdiction problems. The implications of the study of everyday inductive reasoning are discussed. (SLD)
