- In clinical medicine expert diagnosticians often pattern-match a presenting case against remembered patients rather than against published criteria, falling back to differential-diagnosis trees only at the boundary.
This sourceEvidence that expert clinicians reason by pattern-matching to remembered cases rather than by formal hypothetico-deductive rule application (which the authors argue is characteristic of novices).
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract says hypothetico-deductive reasoning is a novice trait and experts use 'strong methods' — it never states pattern-matching to remembered patients.
“In particular, the evidence from research in cognitive psychology on expert‐novice comparisons indicates that the use of the hypothetico‐deductive method is a characteristic of novices rather than experts. Experts use what are called strong methods, which are dependent on a highly elaborated and structured knowledge base.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
