The Plausible Impossible: Causal Constraints on Magical Reasoning
A common intuition, often captured in fiction, is that some impossible events (e.g., levitating a stone) are “more impossible” than others (e.g., levitating a feather). We investigated the source of this intuition, hypothesizing that graded notions of impossibility arise from explanatory considerations logically precluded by the violation at hand but still taken into account. Studies 1-2 involv...

The progression from risk identification to resolution through action or inaction on the part of investigators and policy makers is examined. The cases considered are ones where heated scientific and policy disagreement over the importance-and even the existence-of the risk agent persists or persisted throughout much of the process. Examples include cancer risks from extremely low doses of radi...
متن کاملProving the Impossible is Impossible is Possible: Disproofs Based on Hereditary Partitions
A novel technique, ca l led heredi tary p a r t i t i o n s , is Introduced. I t permits the r igorous proof tha t , in a given axiomat izat ion, cer ta in states can never be reached. The technique is implemented in a computer program, DISPROVER, and is applied to robot wor lds. DISPROVER cooperates wi th a pathf ind ing program when the l a t t e r encounters d i f f i c u l t i e s .

The Rational Addiction (RA) model is increasingly often estimated using individual level panel data with mixed results; in particular, with regard to the implied rate of time discount. This paper suggests that the odd values of the rate of discount frequently found in the literature may in fact be a consequence of the saddle-point dynamics associated with individual level inter-temporal optimiz...
