Post choice information integration as a causal determinant of confidence: Novel data and a computational account.
Confidence judgments are pivotal in the performance of daily tasks and in many domains of scientific research including the behavioral sciences, psychology and neuroscience. Positive resolution i.e., the positive correlation between choice-correctness and choice-confidence is a critical property of confidence judgments, which justifies their ubiquity. In the current paper, we study the mechanis...
متن کاملInformation Measure as Time Complexity
The concept of Shannon entropy of random variables was generalized to measurable functions in general, and to simple functions with finite values in particular. It is shown that the information measure of a function is related to the time complexity of search problems concerning the function in question. Formally, given a Turing reduction from a search problem y x f ) ( to another search prob...
متن کاملCausal Information as a Constraint on Similarity
Considerable evidence indicates that causal information provides a vital constraint on conceptual representation and coherence. We investigated the role of causal information as a constraint on similarity, exploiting an asymmetry between predictive causal reasoning (given the cause, predict the effect) and diagnostic causal reasoning (given the effect, diagnose the cause). This asymmetry allowe...
متن کاملExperimental and causal view on information integration in autonomous agents
The amount of digitally available but heterogeneous information about the world is remarkable, and new technologies such as self-driving cars, smart homes, or the internet of things may further increase it. In this paper we examine certain aspects of the problem of how such heterogeneous information can be harnessed by autonomous agents. After discussing potentials and limitations of some exist...
متن کاملInferring Causal Complexity
In The Comparative Method, Ragin (1987) outlined a procedure of Boolean causal reasoning operating on pure coincidence data that has since become widely known asQCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis) among social scientists. QCA—also in its recent forms as presented in Ragin (2000, 2008)— is designed to analyze causal structures featuring no more than one effect and a possibly complex configura...
