세 사건간의 인과관계 판단 = Inferring the Causal Relationship between Three Events

국문 초록 (Abstract)

인과도식에 의한 하향처리 과정과 빈도 자료 해석에 의한 상향처리 과정이 어떻게 작동하는 지를 알아보기 위해, 세 사건들의 빈도 자료를 주고 인과관계를 판단하게 하였다. 중성 사건들을 주고 판단하게 한 실험 1에서는 Or 구조의 정답율이 높았다. 인과도식 정보와 빈도자료를 주고 판단하게 한 실험 2에서는 Or 구조의 정답율이 높았고, 인과도식과 빈도자료가 일치할 때 정답율이 높았다. 정반응 수와 오반응 수를 대상으로 반응에 이르는 인지과정을 이산적인 과정들의 조합으로 가정하는 Multinomial Processing Tree Modeling을 실시하였다. 모델 피팅 결과 사람들이 빈도자료를 이용하여 인과 구조를 판단할 때 기본적으로 작동하는 인과 도식이 Or 구조라는 점을 시사하는 결과를 얻었다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Two experiments were conducted to explore whether the Or structure works as a default causal model in inferring the causal structure from the contingency data. The contingencies of three unfamiliar variables were used in Experiment 1. Participants inferred the Or structure quite well from the OR data, but incorrectly inferred the Or structure from the And data for about a little less than half of the time, and almost always inferred the Or structure from the chain data. The results suggested that the Or interpretation can be the default causal model. The prevalence of the Or interpretation from the contingency data was reported even when the three variables were familiar ones in Experiment 2. Multinomial modeling performed on the results of the two experiments strongly suggested that the Or interpretation work as a default causal model.
