    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "We report four experiments demonstrating that judgments of\nexplanatory goodness are sensitive both to covariation\nevidence and to mechanism information. Compared to\njudgments of causal strength, explanatory judgments tend to\nbe more sensitive to mechanism and less sensitive to\ncovariation. Judgments of understanding tracked covariation\nleast closely. We discuss implications of our findings for\ntheories of explanation, understanding and causal attribution",
