Answer:
The theory of unconscious inference is closely related to the "likelihood principle".
Step-by-step explanation:
Inference is using the available data on reality, to deduce from one thing another, leading an idea to a result and draw the conclusion that seems most likely (probable) to us (or to draw from one or more propositions a new proposition). Decisions generally contain a variable amount of uncertainty and we must risk choosing a conclusion-decision when acting. The greatest representative of this theory was the German Herman Von Helmholtz (1821-1894), a physicist, physician, physiologist, and mathematician. The perception of objects is carried out through inferences that take as a starting point the data provided by the senses and stored by memory.
