The role of reliability in causal belief updating

• William Jimenez-Leal, Christian Gaviria, Miguel Uribe
• CogSci
• 2011

There is not yet a clear agreement about the functional differences between the processing of mechanism versus covariation information in causal judgments. It has been shown recently that causal belief updating does not depend on the information's origin but on the reliability of new information fed to the updating process). However, there are many aspects… (More)

Similarity, causality and argumentation

• William Jimenez-Leal, Christian Gaviria
• CogSci
• 2013

Similarity is a notion that is widely used both in cognitive science and in argumentation theory. These research programs have, however, developed in large part separately and in consequence rely on disparate notions of similarity. Only recently there has been a proposal for specifying how similarity actually plays a role in judging slippery slope… (More)

Coherence and argument structure: An empirical comparison between plausible reasoning and the Bayesian approach to argumentation

• Christian Gaviria, William Jimenez-Leal
• CogSci
• 2014

Plausible reasoning has been proposed as an alternative to deductive and inductive norms of argument evaluation in informal logic. In this paper, we present the first systematic empirical contrast between the Bayesian account of argumentation and a plausible reasoning model. Results suggest that the Bayesian approach to argumentation provides a more precise… (More)
