Resumen

LOPEZ ALONSO, Alfredo O.. Information and inference as combined cognitive process. Interdisciplinaria [online]. 2004, n.esp, pp.23-34. ISSN 1668-7027.

The concept of inference is complex and obscure, especially when linked with that of information processing. Cognitively, inferences are a medium to access related categories and draw new categorizations. Inferences also facilitate comprehension of discourse. A key role of inferences is then to fill gaps in available information to complete meanings and contextual senses for the missing ones. So rational use of information rests on further implications of exclusive inferential resources. An inferential background for information search and processing is then postulated upon interacting dynamics between implicit and explicit inferences that may render unforeseeable determinants of innovation and creativity.

Palabras clave : Information and inference; inferential processes; information processing.
