Conditionals and inferential connections: A hypothetical inferential theory
Intuition suggests that for a conditional to be evaluated as true, there must be some kind of connection between its component clauses. In this paper, we formulate and test a new psychological theory to account for this intuition. We combined previous semantic and psychological theorizing to propose that the key to the intuition is a relevance-driven, satisficing-bounded inferential connection ...
متن کاملInferential Conditionals and Evidentiality
Many conditionals seem to convey the existence of a link between their antecedent and consequent. We draw on a recently proposed typology of conditionals to argue for an old philosophical idea according towhich the link is inferential in nature. We show that the proposal has explanatory force by presenting empirical results on the evidential meaning of certain English and Dutch modal expressions.

Not all empirical work in the psychology of perception has operated explicitly within a theoretical framework. But when it has, that framework has usually been provided by the inferential theory of perception. I argue that in spite of its explanatory strengths, the inferential theory of perception conceals a well-established empirical phenomenon. That phenomenon is known in ordinary parlance as...

متن کاملInferential framework for nonstationary dynamics. I. Theory.
A general Bayesian framework is introduced for the inference of time-varying parameters in nonstationary, nonlinear, stochastic dynamical systems. Its convergence is discussed. The performance of the method is analyzed in the context of detecting signaling in a system of neurons modeled as FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) oscillators. It is assumed that only fast action potentials for each oscillator mixe...
