Temporal and statistical information in causal structure learning.
Three experiments examined children's and adults' abilities to use statistical and temporal information to distinguish between common cause and causal chain structures. In Experiment 1, participants were provided with conditional probability information and/or temporal information and asked to infer the causal structure of a 3-variable mechanical system that operated probabilistically. Particip...
متن کاملCausal imprinting in causal structure learning.
Suppose one observes a correlation between two events, B and C, and infers that B causes C. Later one discovers that event A explains away the correlation between B and C. Normatively, one should now dismiss or weaken the belief that B causes C. Nonetheless, participants in the current study who observed a positive contingency between B and C followed by evidence that B and C were independent g...
متن کاملStatistical learning of temporal community structure in the hippocampus.
The hippocampus is involved in the learning and representation of temporal statistics, but little is understood about the kinds of statistics it can uncover. Prior studies have tested various forms of structure that can be learned by tracking the strength of transition probabilities between adjacent items in a sequence. We test whether the hippocampus can learn higher-order structure using sequ...
متن کاملOnline Causal Structure Learning
Causal structure learning algorithms have focused on learning in ”batch-mode”: i.e., when a full dataset is presented. In many domains, however, it is important to learn in an online fashion from sequential or ordered data, whether because of memory storage constraints or because of potential changes in the underlying causal structure over the course of learning. In this paper, we present TDSL,...
متن کاملLearning Causal Structure
The central aims of this experiment were to compare observational and interventional learning of a simple causal chain, and to ascertain whether people represent their interventions in accordance with the normative model proposed by Pearl (2000). In the observation condition people treated putative causes as independent, and systematically selected the wrong model. In the intervention condition...
