Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generative theories are those that generate new insights and hypotheses that can be tested through further observations and experiments. Coherent theories are logical and consistent but do not necessarily lead to new hypotheses. Parsimonious theories are those that explain phenomena with the simplest possible explanations, but again, they may not generate new hypotheses. "Working" is not a commonly used term to describe scientific theories.
