    "abstract": "In this paper, we describe three experiments involving simplephysical judgments and predictions, and argue their results aregenerally inconsistent with three core commitments of proba-bilistic mental simulation theory (PMST). The first experimentshows that people routinely fail to track the spatio-temporalidentity of objects. The second experiment shows that peopleoften incorrectly reverse the order of consequential physicalevents when making physical predictions. Finally, we demon-strate a physical version of the conjunction fallacy where par-ticipants rate the probability of two joint events as more likelyto occur than a constituent event of that set. These results high-light the limitations or boundary conditions of simulation the-ory.",
