    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Causal systems often include mutually exclusive events: events\nwhich cannot occur simultaneously. However, when events in\na causal system are exclusive, the normative properties of the\nwhole system change substantially. Are adults sensitive to the\nconsequences of exclusivity for causal reasoning? Here, we\nsystematically manipulated common-effect causal systems to\nhave either exclusive or non-exclusive causes while holding all\nother factors constant. Adults showed a rich understanding of\nexclusive systems in making both predictive (Experiment 1)\nand diagnostic (Experiments 2 and 3) causal inferences.\nAdults’ success in these tasks suggests that exclusivity is an\nimportant dimension in human causal reasoning.",
