R. Hammond Psychol. E. Brunswik i. 38 By 1955, however, he [sc. Brunswik] had coined the term ‘ratiomorphic’ to represent the organism's process of coordinating uncertain data in order to make an inductive inference from them. Perception is a ‘..ratiomorphic sub⁓system of cognition..’. The process is, in other words, ‘reasoning-like’. 1971R. Martin tr. Lorenz's Stud. Animal & Human Behaviour II. 302 All kinds of constancy apparatus are—in principle—‘ratiomorphic’ in the most rigorous sense of the term, since all incorporate processes analogous to those of both induction and deduction. 1977R.
