- Test conceptual boundaries
- Explore edge cases
- Identify inconsistencies
- Clarify conceptual content
Theoretical Testing
- Derive experimental predictions
- Test theoretical implications
- Compare competing theories
- Assess explanatory power
- Evaluate theoretical adequacy
Critical Evaluation
- Assess thought experiment validity
- Identify potential confounds
- Evaluate intuition reliability
- Consider alternative interpretations
