Causal Structure in Conditional Reasoning
Causal reasoning has been shown to underlie many aspects of everyday judgment and decision-making. We explore the role of causal structure in conditional reasoning, hypothesizing that people often interpret conditional statements as assertions about causal structure. We argue that responses on the Wason selection task reflect the selection of evidence expected to maximally reduce uncertainty ov...
متن کاملCausal Conditional Reasoning and Conditional Likelihood
We hypothesized that causal conditional reasoning reflects judgment of the conditional likelihood of causes and effects based on a probabilistic causal model of the scenario being judged. Although this proposal has much in common with Cummins’ (1995) theory based on the number of disabling conditions and alternative causes, it takes more variables into account and therefore makes some differing...

متن کاملDomain-Specific Causal Knowledge and Children’s Reasoning about Possibility
Before children enter elementary school, they appear capable of making predictions about causal relations in the physical (e.g. Bullock, Gelman, & Baillargeon, 1982), psychological (e.g. Wellman, 1990), and biological (e.g. Inagaki & Hatano, 1993) domains. Young children can also generate explanations of observed events across these domains as well (e.g. Schult & Wellman, 1997; Shultz, 1982; We...
متن کاملCausal discovery of linear acyclic models with arbitrary distributions
An important task in data analysis is the discovery of causal relationships between observed variables. For continuous-valued data, linear acyclic causal models are commonly used to model the data-generating process, and the inference of such models is a wellstudied problem. However, existing methods have significant limitations. Methods based on conditional independencies (Spirtes et al. 1993;...
