View through CrossRef
A Qualitative concept of selective dyadic confirmation — not Scheffler's and Goodman's —can be readily defined piggy-back upon the qualitative concepts of dyadic confirmation and dyadic disconfirmation as follows:Dl ‘E selectively confirms H’ = df ‘E confirms H and E disconfirms H1for every H1that is a contrary of H relative to E’.
