{"pk":30906,"title":"A Rule Based Model of Judging Harm-doing","subtitle":null,"abstract":"A rule based computational model of the judgment of harm-doing is presented that qualitatively simulates the major principles of an emerging psychological theory of common sense moral reasoning. Simulation results indicate that the model, called M R for Moral Reasoner, generates verdicts in substantial agreement with those reached in somewhat difficult court cases. A higher rate of agreement with outcomes produced in simpler cases from traditional cultures suggests that the model possesses a good deal of cultural universality. Systematic damaging of the rules in the model indicated that most of the rules are essential in producing a high rate of agreement with court decisions and identified some rules regarding the mental state of the accused that, individually, are less essential because they compensate for each other.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Paper Presentations -- Group 1: Reasoning","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7fh9h9nr","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Thomas","middle_name":"R.","last_name":"Shultz","name_suffix":"","institution":"McGill University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1990-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30906/galley/20755/download/"}]}
