Plural Causes
Causal selection is the process underlying our intuition that an outcome happened because of a given event, or that an event is the cause of an outcome. When a forest catches fire after a lightning strike, for example, people tend to say that the lightning bolt was the cause of the fire, not mentioning the presence of oxygen in the air, although they are well aware that the latter was no less indispensable for the fire to occur. The extant litera…
Luck and Intentional Action
Can you perform an action intentionally if there was only a small chance your action would succeed? Researchers studying the folk concept of intentional action have documented complex patterns of intuitions in these cases. We propose to explain the data in terms of a causal theory of intentional action, according to which people consider an action intentional if there was a strong causal link between the agent’s desire for the outcome and the out…
Children seek out observations that can reveal a partner’s generosity
Humans face the adaptive challenge of assessing how much other people value them. Evidence suggests that the human mind is well-equipped for this task: people can rationally estimate, and collect information about, the weight that an interaction partner assigns to their welfare (the partner’s welfare-tradeoff ratio). Here we probe the developmental origins of this ability using an information-search task with 6- to 12-year-old children ( n = 97 )…

Lossy encoding of distributions in judgment under uncertainty
People often make judgments about uncertain facts and events, for example 'Germany will win the world cup'. Judgment under uncertainty is often studied with reference to a normative ideal according to which people should make guesses that have a high probability of being correct. According to this normative ideal, you should say that Germany will win the world cup if you think that Germany is in fact likely to win. We argue that in many cases, ju…
A counterfactual explanation for recency effects in double prevention scenarios
Religious signaling and prosociality
Rational inferences about social valuation
Rational information search in welfare-tradeoff cognition
Plural causes in causal judgment
Causal selection is the process whereby people decide which of several events responsible for a realized outcome should be considered as “the cause” of that outcome. A theory of causal selection requires a definition of the relevant candidates to be considered for selection. So far, the psychological literature has operated on the implicit premise that the only relevant candidates for causal selection are individual variables, corresponding to th…
