    "title": "Modulating the coherence effect in causal-based processing",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Causal-based cognition is thought to be relevant for human\nbeings because it allows inferring the unfolding of events.\nTheories of causal-based cognition offer researchers a way to\nunderstand inter-feature relations, above and beyond the purely\nassociative relations posited by similarity theories. In the\ncausal-model theory (a.k.a. the Generative Model), people are\nthought to categorize an exemplar depending on how likely its\nparticular feature combination is, given the category’s causal\nmodel. This mechanism predicts the coherence effect (i.e.,\nwhen people categorize, features interact). This effect has been\nwidely reported in the literature. In the current experiment, we\nsought to specify conditions that modulate the coherence\neffect. To that end, we implemented a between-subjects\nmanipulation where participants had to judge either category\nmembership or category consistency. Our results show that\nsubjects exhibit a larger coherence effect in consistency\ncondition. We discuss our results’ relevance for causal-model\ntheory and for the possibility of distinguishing causal-based\nfrom similarity-based processing.",
