Abstract

Indicative conditionals and tendency causal claims are closely related (e.g., Frosch and Byrne, 2012), but despite these connections, they are usually studied separately. A unifying framework could consist in their dependence on probabilistic factors such as high conditional probability and statistical relevance (e.g., Adams, 1975; Eells, 1991; Douven, 2008, 2015). This paper presents a comparative empirical study on differences between judgments on tendency causal claims and indicative conditionals, how these judgments are driven by probabilistic factors, and how these factors differ in their predictive power for both causal and conditional claims.

因果条件、倾向性因果主张和统计相关性

指示性条件和倾向性因果主张密切相关（例如，Frosch 和 Byrne，2012 年），但尽管有这些联系，它们通常被分开研究。一个统一的框架可能包括它们对概率因素的依赖性，如高条件概率和统计相关性（例如，Adams, 1975; Eells, 1991; Douven, 2008, 2015）。本文通过比较实证研究，探讨了对倾向性因果主张和指示性条件主张的判断之间的差异，这些判断是如何受概率因素驱动的，以及这些因素对因果主张和条件主张的预测能力有何不同。

期刊介绍： The Review of Philosophy and Psychology is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on philosophical and foundational issues in cognitive science. The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for discussion on topics of mutual interest to philosophers and psychologists and to foster interdisciplinary research at the crossroads of philosophy and the sciences of the mind, including the neural, behavioural and social sciences. The journal publishes theoretical works grounded in empirical research as well as empirical articles on issues of philosophical relevance. It includes thematic issues featuring invited contributions from leading authors together with articles answering a call for papers. The Review of Philosophy and Psychology is published quarterly and is hosted at the Jean Nicod Institute, a research centre of the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. It was formerly published as the "European Review of Philosophy" by CSLI Publications, Stanford.
