Basic Conditional Reasoning: How Children Mimic Counterfactual Reasoning
Children approach counterfactual questions about stories with a reasoning strategy that falls short of adults' Counterfactual Reasoning (CFR). It was dubbed "Basic Conditional Reasoning" (BCR) in Rafetseder et al. (Child Dev 81(1):376-389, 2010). In this paper we provide a characterisation of the differences between BCR and CFR using a distinction between permanent and nonpermanent features of ...

متن کاملCounterfactual Reasoning: How to Organize a Possible World
Counterfactual reasoning appears to be a universal phenomenon of human inference from childhood to adulthood, yet, the prevailing explanations seem able to capture only a limited aspect of the process and are in need of an overarching framework. We propose that David Lewis’ possible worlds analysis offers a first approximation to such a framework and gives a psychologically plausible account of...
متن کاملCounterfactual Reasoning and Learning Systems
This work shows how to leverage causal inference to understand the behavior of complex learning systems interacting with their environment and predict the consequences of changes to the system. Such predictions allow both humans and algorithms to select the changes that would have improved the system performance. This work is illustrated by experiments carried out on the ad placement system ass...
متن کاملCounterfactual Reasoning in Argumentation Frameworks
In a formal argumentation framework, one is interested in whether a particular argument is accepted or not under argumentation semantics. When an argumentA is accepted, on the other hand, one may ask a question “what ifA were rejected?” We formulate such counterfactual reasoning in abstract argumentation frameworks. Based on Lewis’s logic, we define two counterfactual conditionals in AF and inv...
