Causal Reasoning

In the area of Causal Reasoning, researchers explore the cognitive processes behind causal reasoning, where people learn cause-effect relationships from their experiences. Specific areas of study include medical diagnosis decision-making (see Rottman), see also The Cognitive Science of Medical Expertise, causal learning from time series data (see Rottman), and developing computational models of case-based reasoning (CBR) in domains like such as law and practical ethics (see Ashley).
