Two-Dimensional Belief Change [PDF]
, 2007 The idea of two-dimensional belief change operators is that a belief state is transformed by an input sentence $A$ in such a way that $A$ gets accepted with at least the strength or certainty of a sentence $B$ (the reference sentence). The input of such a transformation may alternatively be conceived as `$B leq A$' [`$B$ less-than-or-equal-to $A$'].

AGM-Like Paraconsistent Belief Change [PDF]
, 2017 Two systems of belief change based on paraconsistent logics are introduced in this article by means of AGM-like postulates. The first one, AGMp, is defined over any paraconsistent logic which extends classical logic such that the law of excluded middle ...

The Contributing Role of Prevalent Belief Systems to Intergroup Attitudes and Behaviors [PDF]
, 2012 Abundant research shows that prevalent belief systems across cultures contribute to people’s levels of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. Such popular belief systems are often communicated by everyday sayings (e.g., the belief that hard work

Black holes, cosmological singularities and change of signature [PDF]
, 1994 There exists a widespread belief that signature type change could be used to avoid spacetime singularities. We show that signature change cannot be utilised to this end unless the Einstein equation is abandoned at the suface of signature type change.

Speculations on a privileged state of cognitive dissonance [PDF]
, 2001 This paper examines two commonly held and conflicting cognitions in the modern world, each based on a belief vital to the individual's sense of self, both maintained in what is here considered as a chronic state of dissonance.

Decrement Operators in Belief Change
, 2019 While research on iterated revision is predominant in the field of iterated belief change, the class of iterated contraction operators received more attention in recent years.

The neural correlates of belief-bias inhibition: The impact of logic training [PDF]
, 2014 Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate the brain activity associated with response change in a belief bias paradigm before and after logic training. Participants completed two sets of belief biased reasoning tasks.

Extending the Harper Identity to Iterated Belief Change [PDF]
, 2016 The field of iterated belief change has focused mainly on revision, with the other main operator of AGM belief change theory, i.e. contraction, receiving relatively little attention.
