Running head: Causal Status and Coherence Causal Status and Coherence in Causal-Based Categorization
Two models of how interfeature causal knowledge affects classification were evaluated. First, a causal status effect was stronger for probabilistic versus deterministic causal links (Expt. 1). Second, a causal status effect was stronger for essentialized categories (Expt. 2) although only for probabilistic causal links (Expt. 3). Third, a causal status effect was absent when information about p...
متن کاملCausal status and coherence in causal-based categorization.
Research has documented two effects of interfeature causal knowledge on classification. A causal status effect occurs when features that are causes are more important to category membership than their effects. A coherence effect occurs when combinations of features that are consistent with causal laws provide additional evidence of category membership. In this study, we found that stronger caus...
متن کاملCausal Status meets Coherence: The Explanatory Role of Causal Models in Categorization
Research on causal-based categorization has found two competing effects: According to the causal-status hypothesis, people consider causally central features more than less central ones. In contrast, people often focus upon feature patterns that are coherent with the category’s causal model (coherence hypothesis). Following up on the proposal that categorization can be seen as inference to the ...
متن کاملCausal Status and Explanatory Goodness in Categorization
Much research (e.g., Keil, 1989; Murphy & Medin, 1985; Rips, 1989) has emphasized the critical role that domain knowledge plays in categorization judgments. Recent instantiations of this view (e.g., Ahn, et al., 2000; Rehder & Hastie, 2001) have focused on characterizing how causal knowledge supports categorization decisions. We suggest that a more satisfactory account of categorization can be ...
متن کاملThe Role of Coherence in Causal-Based Categorization
When features of categories are linked by causal relations, two different effects on classification judgments have been documented. The first, the causal status effect, is that features that appear earlier in a causal network (and thus are more "causal") are weighed more heavily in classification than less causal features. The second, the coherence effect, is that good category members are thos...
