Based on a fundamental change in Peirce's approach towards abduction in the late 1890s, Fann (1970) divides his theory of abduction to the early theory from 1859 to 1890 and the later theory from 1890 ...

We contrast this method to case-based reasoning, and also contrast the tenets of case-based reasoning to those of another method for learning from explanations, explanation-based schema acquisition. ...
