Modeling causal conditional reasoning data using SDT: caveats and new insights
In deductive reasoning, people are asked to infer the truth of an argument’s conclusion given a set of premises. Research into the processes underlying deduction has focused on examining how well people discriminate between logically valid and invalid arguments, and how irrelevant factors such as one’s prior beliefs interfere with the ability to reason logically (Evans et al., 1983). This norma...
متن کاملCaveats for Causal Reasoning with Equilibrium Models
In this paper we examine the ability to perform causal reasoning with recursive equilibrium models. We identify a critical postulate, which we term the Manipulation Postulate, that is required in order to perform causal inference, and we prove that there exists a general class F of recursive equilibrium models that violate the Manipulation Postulate. We relate this class to the existing phenome...
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 کاملCausal 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...
