A theory of causal learning in children: causal maps and Bayes nets.
The authors outline a cognitive and computational account of causal learning in children. They propose that children use specialized cognitive systems that allow them to recover an accurate "causal map" of the world: an abstract, coherent, learned representation of the causal relations among events. This kind of knowledge can be perspicuously understood in terms of the formalism of directed gra...
متن کاملLearning, prediction and causal Bayes nets.
Recent research in cognitive and developmental psychology on acquiring and using causal knowledge uses the causal Bayes net formalism, which simultaneously represents hypotheses about causal relations, probability relations, and effects of interventions. The formalism provides new normative standards for reinterpreting experiments on human judgment, offers a precise interpretation of mechanisms...
متن کاملCausal Categorization with Bayes Nets
A theory of categorization is presented in which knowledge of causal relationships between category features is represented as a Bayesian network. Referred to as causal-model theory, this theory predicts that objects are classified as category members to the extent they are likely to have been produced by a categorys causal model. On this view, people have models of the world that lead them to ...
متن کاملTransparency of Independence Relations in Causal Bayes Nets : Causal Forks and Causal Chains
by Colin Beam, Cognition & Perception Advisor: John Miyamoto Within cognitive psychology, there has been growing interesting in recent years in the application of Bayesian methods to model learning and reasoning. In particular, some researchers have endeavored to use causal Bayes nets to model causal learning and reasoning. Bayesian nets are graphical representations of causal relations; in the...
