Causal events enter awareness faster than non-causal events
Philosophers have long argued that causality cannot be directly observed but requires a conscious inference (Hume, 1967). Albert Michotte however developed numerous visual phenomena in which people seemed to perceive causality akin to primary visual properties like colour or motion (Michotte, 1946). Michotte claimed that the perception of causality did not require a conscious, deliberate infere...
متن کاملCausal Emergence of “Soft” Events
Some events, like moods or qualitative evaluations, are not grounded in any particular observations or actions but can emerge as the result of internal or external interactions. “Opinion” rules extracted from diverse sources such as blogs, newspaper articles, chat rooms, etc. can be synthesized together into a fuzzy cognitive map linking event nodes together. We explore in this paper how to lea...
متن کاملInfants' causal representations of state change events.
Five experiments extended studies of infants' causal representations of Michottian launching events to 8-month-olds' causal representations of physical state changes. Infants were habituated to events in which a potential causal agent moved behind a screen, after which a box partially visible on the other side of the screen underwent some change (motion or state change). After habituation the s...
متن کاملResultatives as Causal Relations between Events
This paper investigates some resultative constructions in English, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. It will be argued that the Direct Object Restriction (DOR) used in previous syntactic accounts is not correct. This paper examines the typical resultative constructions in English and Korean and, within the framework of event semantics, offers a proper semantic account of the relevant data on the b...
متن کاملExtracting Temporal and Causal Relations between Events
A notably challenging problem related to event processing is recognizing the relations holding between events in a text, in particular temporal and causal relations. While there has been some research on temporal relations, the aspect of causality between events from a Natural Language Processing (NLP) perspective has hardly been touched. We propose an annotation scheme to cover different types...
