    "title": "Goals Affect the Perceived Quality of Explanations",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Do people evaluate the quality of explanations differently\ndepending on their goals? In particular, are explanations of\ndifferent kinds (formal, mechanistic, teleological) judged\ndifferently depending on the future judgments the evaluator\nanticipates making? We report two studies demonstrating that\nthe perceived “goodness” of explanations depends on the\nevaluator’s current goals, with explanations receiving a\nrelative boost when they are based on relationships that\nsupport anticipated judgments. These findings shed light on\nthe functions of explanation and support pragmatic and\npluralist approaches to explanation.",
