Inferential processes in the forced compliance situation

Inferential Processes in the Forced Compliance Situation

The attribution made by an observer (0) to an actor in the forced compliance situation was regarded as a probability revision process which can be described by a Bayesian inference model. OS’ perceptions of the forced compliance situation were analyzed in terms of the input components into the Bayesian model: prior probabilities of the relevant attitudes and the diagnostic values of the behavio...

Cognitive consequences of forced compliance.

WHAT happens to a person's private opinion if he is forced to do or say something contrary to that opinion? Only recently has there been, any experimental work related to this question. Two studies reported by Janis and King (1954; 1956) clearly showed that, at least under some conditions, the private opinion changes so as to bring it into closer correspondence with the overt behavior the perso...

The architecture of visual cortex and inferential processes in vision.

This paper is organised approximately into two halves. In the first half, I review evidence about the structure of the visual system, and I use that evidence to frame what I think are widely held but often implicit ideas about how it works, namely that vision is principally analysis of retinal input. These ideas have been strongly influenced by engineering approaches; form a default view of the...

Non-Terminating Processes in the Situation Calculus

By their very design, many robot control programs are non-terminating. To give a simple example one we shall use in this paper an office coffee-delivery robot might be implemented as an infinite loop in which the robot responds to exogenous requests for coffee that are maintained on a queue. Since a future coffee request is always possible, the program never terminates. As is the case for more ...
