Instruction and Experience Based Belief Construction and Revision
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the difference between instruction and experience induced belief construction and its resistance to conflicting evidence. Experiment 1 is a succesful replication of the renewal effect with experience induced belief acquisition. In Experiment 2, it is shown that the level of belief acquisition that is obtained through experience is also obtained through instruction. Nevertheless, the absence of a renewal effect in this experiment shows that both learning methods differ in their underlying cognitive structure.

The Context Sensitivity of Experience based Learning in Belief Revision
In this paper we show that experience based beliefs are more context sensitive than instruction based beliefs. The adaptation to a new context happens faster and is more extensive with experience based beliefs. Moreover we will demonstrate that experience based learning is able to overrule what is learned by instructions.
متن کاملJZBR - Iterated Belief Change for Conditional Ranking Constraints An early report
We present JZBR, an extension of Spohn's iterated revision methodology which allows the handling of new information expressed by conditional ranking measure constraints. This is achieved by generalizing a canonical ranking construction technique originally developed for nonmonotonic entailment, notably system JZ. JZBR exploits the structure of the evidence base and is a robust relative of semi-...

متن کاملLogical Properties of Belief-Revision-Based Bargaining Solution
This paper explores logical properties of belief-revision-based bargaining solution. We first present a syntax-independent construction of bargaining solution based on prioritized belief revision. With the construction, the computation of bargaining solution can be converted to the calculation of maximal consistent hierarchy of prioritized belief sets. We prove that the syntax-independent solut...
متن کاملBelief Revision with Bridging Axioms
Belief revision deals with the problem of changing a declaratively specified repository under potentially conflicting information. Usually, the problem is approached by providing postulates that specify intended constraints for the revision and constructing concrete revision operators fulfilling them. In the last 30 years since the start of formal belief revision with the work of AGM (Alchourro...
