| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this thesis is to examine the mental representation of and cognitive processes
involved in causal and counterfactual thinking. In particular we examine differences
between different types of causes, that is, strong causes, weak causes, and enabling
conditions. In addition, we examine the effect of context on reasoning from causal
counterfactual conditionals. We test predictions derived from the mental model theory of
causal and counterfactual thinking. According to this account people understand different
types of causes by keeping different possibilities in mind. | |
