Causal Induction from Continuous Event Streams: Evidence for Delay-Induced Attribution Shifts [PDF]

, 2009
Contemporary theories of Human Causal Induction assume that causal knowledge is inferred from observable contingencies. While this assumption is well supported by empirical results, it fails to consider an important problem-solving aspect of causal ...
