The Size-Weight Illusion is not anti-Bayesian after all: a unifying Bayesian account
When we lift two differently-sized but equally-weighted objects, we expect the larger to be heavier, but the smaller feels heavier. However, traditional Bayesian approaches with "larger is heavier" priors predict the smaller object should feel lighter; this Size-Weight Illusion (SWI) has thus been labeled "anti-Bayesian" and has stymied psychologists for generations. We propose that previous Ba...
متن کاملBayesian Nets Are All There Is To Causal Dependence
There are too many theories of causation to get into the focus of a small paper. But there are two in which I have a natural interest since they look almost the same: namely the theory of Clark Glymour, Peter Spirtes, and Richard Scheines, so vigorously developed since 19831 and most richly stated in Spirtes et al. (1993) (whence I shall refer to it as the SGS theory), and my own theory, publis...
متن کاملIs everyone Bayes? On the testable implications of Bayesian Fundamentalism
A central claim of Jones & Love’s (J&L’s) article is that Bayesian Fundamentalism is empirically unconstrained. Unless constraints are placed on prior beliefs, likelihood, and utility functions, all behaviour – it is proposed – is consistent with Bayesian rationality. Although such claims are commonplace, their basis is rarely justified. We fill this gap by sketching a proof, and we discuss pos...
متن کاملWhy we are not all novelists
In this chapter I consider one of the necessary conditions for being a novelist, the ability to open up and sustain a fictional world. My approach will draw from psychopathology, phenomenology and neuroscience. Using the phenomenological concept of “multiple realities,” I argue that the novelist is in some ways like and in some ways unlike someone who experiences delusions insofar as the noveli...
متن کاملHierarchical Models are not Bayesian A Review and Synthesis
We created a Bayesian hierarchical model (BHM) to investigate ecosystem relationships between the physical ecosystem (sea ice extent), a prey measure (krill density), predator behaviors (diving and foraging effort of female Antarctic fur seals, Arctocephalus gazella, with pups) and predator characteristics (mass of maternal fur seals and pups). We collected data on Antarctic fur seals from 1987...
