Stable Causal Relationships are Better Causal Relationships
We report two experiments investigating whether people’s judgments about causal relationships are sensitive to the robustness or stability of such relationships across a wide range of background circumstances. We demonstrate that people prefer stable causal relationships even when overall causal strength is held constant, and we show that this effect is unlikely to be driven by a causal general...
متن کاملLearning Causal Relationships
How ought we learn causal relationships? While Popper advocated a hypothetico-deductive logic of causal discovery, inductive accounts are currently in vogue. Many inductive approaches depend on the causal Markov condition as a fundamental assumption. This condition, I maintain, is not universally valid, though it is justifiable as a default assumption. In which case the results of the inductive...
متن کاملReasoning about causal relationships: Inferences on causal networks.
Over the last decade, a normative framework for making causal inferences, Bayesian Probabilistic Causal Networks, has come to dominate psychological studies of inference based on causal relationships. The following causal networks-[X→Y→Z, X←Y→Z, X→Y←Z]-supply answers for questions like, "Suppose both X and Y occur, what is the probability Z occurs?" or "Suppose you intervene and make Y occur, w...
متن کاملProcess Algebra Traces Augmented with Causal Relationships
Process algebraic specification languages, i.e., CSP, CCS, LOTOS, etc., are semantically founded in the notion of interleaved traces of events. Unfortunately such traces are inadequate when the dimension of “real” time is considered since a totally ordered trace cannot model two or more time-consuming events overlapping in time. As a first step towards solving this problem, it is explained how,...
