Abstract | This paper comments on the response offered by Cheng and Novick to Luhmann and Ahn's initial comments on Cheng's and Cheng and Novick's previous articles. Cheng and Novick argue that people's willingness to generalize across contexts contradicts our hypothesis. They argue that previous studies demonstrate that participants generalize their estimates to novel contexts, but we disagree. None of the cited studies can determine if participants "based their judgments on causal power" or if participants instead computed a context-dependent estimate of causal strength. It remains an open question when and, perhaps more importantly, why reasoners are willing to generalize to novel contexts. (Author). |
