Perceived Momentum Influences Responsibility Judgments
This work examines the extent to which people hold independent sequential events (e.g., players making correct/incorrect guesses) responsible for overall outcomes (e.g., the team winning/losing the game). Two types of events are found to garner the majority of responsibility for overall outcomes: (1) final events and (2) events that are perceived to disrupt momentum (e.g., an incorrect guess af...
متن کاملResponsibility judgments in voting scenarios
How do people assign responsibility for the outcome of an election?

We introduce the MDP-Evaluation Stopping Problem, the optimization problem faced by participants of the International Probabilistic Planning Competition 2014 that focus on their own performance. It can be constructed as a meta-MDP where actions correspond to the application of a policy on a base-MDP, which is intractable in practice. Our theoretical analysis reveals that there are tractable spe...
متن کاملClever crows or unbalanced birds?
Taylor et al. (1) claimed that New Caledonian crows are capable of reasoning about “hidden causal agents.” Their recorded increases in hide inspections and abandoned trials in the unknown causal agent (UCA) condition relative to the human causal agent (HCA) condition, which were used to infer the presence of “causal reasoning” ability, are, however, confounded by a fundamental methodological li...
