This pack begins with three fictional cards. The learner generates two candidate rules, predicts all three hidden test memberships and locks confidence before opening one staged key. The goal is a better-supported rule with visible uncertainty, not certainty from a tiny pattern set. Target outcome: Define inductive inference without inheriting mythology or broader claims. Explain what the current evidence supports and what it does not establish. Use the declared measurement boundary and recognise misleading proxies. Complete only the separately governed capability practice inside its declared limits. Make a retention, transfer, maintenance, provider or stop decision without overclaiming. ### Authority and setup conditions - Use only the fictional colour-and-shape cards. Do not infer traits, motives, diagnosis, intelligence, or capacity from a real person. - Performance on this fixture does not establish general reasoning ability, dementia prevention, scientific expertise, or transfer to consequential decisions. - A rule that fits all supplied cards remains bounded to this fixture; another untested rule may also fit. ### Required or supplied materials - The six staged fictional card rows below - A blank sheet for two learner-generated rules - Prediction and confidence columns for both rules on D1, C1 and N1 - One staged membership key, kept closed until all six test predictions are locked ### Supplied fixture I1–I3 are opening evidence. Generate H1 and H2, then lock all D1/C1/N1 predictions before opening the staged membership key. | Card id | Phase | Colour | Shape | Membership status | Prediction H1 before key | Prediction H2 before key | Confidence H1 0 to 100 | Confidence H2 0 to 100 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | I1 | opening evidence | blue | triangle | M | [check fit] | [check fit] | [record] | [record] | | I2 | opening evidence | red | circle | N | [check fit] | [check fit] | [record] | [record] | | I3 | opening evidence | green | square | N | [check fit] | [check fit] | [record] | [record] | | D1 | hidden test | blue | circle | [OPEN KEY AFTER ALL SIX PREDICTIONS] | [lock] | [lock] | [locked before key] | [locked before key] | | C1 | hidden test | red | triangle | [OPEN KEY AFTER ALL SIX PREDICTIONS] | [lock] | [lock] | [locked before key] | [locked before key] | | N1 | hidden test | yellow | triangle | [OPEN KEY AFTER ALL SIX PREDICTIONS] | [lock] | [lock] | [locked before key] | [locked before key] | ## 1. Read I1–I3 only Read I1–I3 only. Generate at least two distinct rules that fit all three opening memberships; call them H1 and H2 and write them in full. Why: “Read I1–I3 only” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion. Success check: A legible entry directly completes “Read I1–I3 only” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Read I1–I3 only. Generate at least two distinct rules that fit all three opening memberships; call them H1 and H2 and write them in full.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “A legible entry directly completes “Read I1–I3 only” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 2. For D1, C1 and N1, derive the membership predicted by H1 and… For D1, C1 and N1, derive the membership predicted by H1 and by H2. Lock all six predictions and a confidence rating for each rule before opening the key. Why: “For D1, C1 and N1, derive the membership predicted by H1 and by H2” carries the authored Inductive inference method into a reviewable output without adding an unstated task, dose or claim. Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “For D1, C1 and N1, derive the membership predicted by H1 and by H2. Lock all six predictions and a confidence rating for each rule before opening the key.” Accessible alternative: Complete “For D1, C1 and N1, derive the membership predicted by H1 and by H2. Lock all six predictions and a confidence rating for each rule before opening the key.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “For D1, C1 and N1, derive the membership predicted by H1 and by H2. Lock all six predictions and a confidence rating for each rule before opening the key.”” Use text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard navigation, shorter sessions, a support person or an equivalent non-practical record format as needed. Accessibility changes must not enlarge practical authority. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 3. Open the staged key once Open the staged key once. Copy the three memberships beside the locked predictions without editing any prediction. Why: “Open the staged key once” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion. Success check: A legible entry directly completes “Open the staged key once” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim. Accessible alternative: Complete “Open the staged key once.

Score each rule out of three and write which evidence supported, contradicted… Score each rule out of three and write which evidence supported, contradicted or failed to distinguish it. Why: “Score each rule out of three and write which evidence supported, contradicted or failed to distinguish it” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion. Success check: The work shows the value requested by “Score each rule out of three and write which evidence supported, contradicted or failed to distinguish it”, retains the supplied units or signs and leaves any unsupported value unknown. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Score each rule out of three and write which evidence supported, contradicted or failed to distinguish it.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The work shows the value requested by “Score each rule out of three and write which evidence supported, contradicted or failed to distinguish it”, retains the supplied units or signs and leaves any unsupported value unknown.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Update confidence with a reason tied to a revealed card Update confidence with a reason tied to a revealed card. If both rules fail, generate a repaired third rule without erasing H1 or H2. Why: Keep this exact Inductive inference action explicit and reviewable: “Update confidence with a reason tied to a revealed card. If both rules fail, generate a repaired third rule without erasing H1 or H2.” Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Update confidence with a reason tied to a revealed card. If both rules fail, generate a repaired third rule without erasing H1 or H2.” Accessible alternative: Complete “Update confidence with a reason tied to a revealed card. If both rules fail, generate a repaired third rule without erasing H1 or H2.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Update confidence with a reason tied to a revealed card.

Finish by naming the better-supported current rule, an untested alternative and one… Finish by naming the better-supported current rule, an untested alternative and one new card whose membership would distinguish them. Why: “Finish by naming the better-supported current rule, an untested alternative and one new card whose membership would distinguish them” establishes the exact Inductive inference question or boundary that every later comparison must preserve. Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Finish by naming the better-supported current rule, an untested alternative and one new card whose membership would distinguish them.” Accessible alternative: Complete “Finish by naming the better-supported current rule, an untested alternative and one new card whose membership would distinguish them.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Finish by naming the better-supported current rule, an untested alternative and one new card whose membership would distinguish them.”” Use text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard navigation, shorter sessions, a support person or an equivalent non-practical record format as needed.
