  1. 1. OPTIMISATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF TECHNOLOGICAL ARTEFACTS An Experimental Study Investigating the Role of Causal Cognition and Social Learning in Micro-society Paradigms

    University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

    Author : Albin Högberg; Eva Iliefski-Janols; [2023-02-01]
    Keywords : Cumulative Technological Culture; Cognitive Niche Hypothesis; Cultural Niche Hypothesis; Social Learning; Causal Cognition; Micro-society Paradigms;

    Abstract : Cumulative technological culture - how humans can build upon and improve the technology and tools of earlier generations - has been regarded as a main contributing factor for Homo sapiens' success as a species. In this study we investigate the role of causal cognition and social learning in the optimisation of technological artefacts. READ MORE

  3. 3. Causal discovery in conditional stationary time-series data : Towards causal discovery in videos

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Carles Balsells Rodas; [2021]
    Keywords : Causality; Causal discovery; Neural networks; Graph neural network; Time series; Non-stationary; Orsakssamband; Kausal upptäckt; Neurala nätverk; Diagram Neurala nätverk; Tidsföljder; Icke-stationär;

    Abstract : Performing causal reasoning in a scene is an inherent mechanism in human cognition; however, the majority of approaches in the causality literature aiming for this task still consider constrained scenarios, such as simple physical systems or stationary time-series data. In this work we aim for causal discovery in videos concerning realistic scenarios. READ MORE

  5. 5. An Assessment of the Role of Individual Differences and Variable Salience in Normative Causal Reasoning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Kalle Kallio Strand; Ossian Nörthen; [2018]
    Keywords : Causal reasoning; Markov violations; Need for Cognition; decision-making; salience; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Normative causal reasoning is essential for proper decision-making to be conducted, which is highly relevant in areas such as personnel assessment and predictions of work performance. However, research has found consistent violations of the Markov Assumption, a defining aspect of normative causal models that indicates which nodes in a causal network that are conditionally independent of one another.
