Conjunctive Explanations
Coherence, Explanation, and Hypothesis Selection
This article provides a new approach to inference to the best explanation (IBE) based on a new coherence measure for comparing how well hypotheses explain the evidence. It addresses a number of criticisms of the use of probabilistic measures in this context by Glymour ([2015]), including limitations of earlier work on IBE (Glass [2012]). Computer experiments are used to show that the new approach finds the truth with a high degree of accuracy in …
Two-dimensional opinion dynamics in social networks with conflicting beliefs
Hypothesis Competition beyond Mutual Exclusivity
Competition between scientific hypotheses is not always a matter of mutual exclusivity. Consistent hypotheses can compete to varying degrees either directly or indirectly via a body of evidence. We motivate and defend a particular account of hypothesis competition by showing how it captures these features. Computer simulations of Bayesian inference are used to highlight the limitations of adopting mutual exclusivity as a simplifying assumption to…

Amobarbital Sodium and the Effects of Reward and Nonreward in the Amsel Double Runway
Rats received 60 trials (Condition I) with 6 pellets reward at the second goal of a double runway and either 6 ( n = 12) or 0 ( n = 12) at the first goal, followed by, for all Ss, 24 trials (Condition II) with 0 reward at the first goal, then 36 trials (Condition III) with 50% reward at the first goal. Half of each reward group received amobarbital sodium (20 mg/kg, IP) and half saline prior to the 6 daily trials. Neither excitatory nor inhibitor…
