Counterfactual reasoning: From childhood to adulthood
The objective of this study was to describe the developmental progression of counterfactual reasoning from childhood to adulthood. In contrast to the traditional view, it was recently reported by Rafetseder and colleagues that even a majority of 6-year-old children do not engage in counterfactual reasoning when asked counterfactual questions (Child Development, 2010, Vol. 81, pp. 376-389). By c...
متن کاملCounterfactual Reasoning and Learning Systems
This work shows how to leverage causal inference to understand the behavior of complex learning systems interacting with their environment and predict the consequences of changes to the system. Such predictions allow both humans and algorithms to select the changes that would have improved the system performance. This work is illustrated by experiments carried out on the ad placement system ass...
متن کاملCounterfactual Reasoning in Argumentation Frameworks
In a formal argumentation framework, one is interested in whether a particular argument is accepted or not under argumentation semantics. When an argumentA is accepted, on the other hand, one may ask a question “what ifA were rejected?” We formulate such counterfactual reasoning in abstract argumentation frameworks. Based on Lewis’s logic, we define two counterfactual conditionals in AF and inv...
متن کاملCausal Explanations in Counterfactual Reasoning
This paper explores the role of causal explanations in evaluating counterfactual conditionals. In reasoning about what would have been the case if A had been true, the localist injunction to hold constant all the variables that causally influence whether A is true or not, is sometimes unreasonably constraining. We hypothesize that speakers may resolve this tension by including in their delibera...

(Philosophical Aspects)—Qualitative". Here, after a general introduction and historical overview, we emphasize the role of counterfactual reasoning within the quantitative frameworks of probability theory, decision theory, and game theory. 1. Counterfactuals Counterfactuals are a species of conditionals. They are propositions or sentences, expressed by or equivalent to subjunctive conditionals ...
