    "title": "Causal Mechanisms as Temporal Bridges in a Connectionist Model of Causal Attribuion",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "We use a connectionist model which relies on the\nencoding of lempnjral relationships a m o n g events to\ninvestigate the role of causal mechanisms in causal\nattribution. Mechanisms are encoded as intervening\nevents with temporal extent that occur between the\noffset of a causal event and the onset of an effect. In\none set of simulations, the presence of intervening\nevents facilitated acquisition of a relationship between\ncause and effect via the mechanism. In a second set of\nsimulations, prior experience with mechanisms\nenhanced development of a cause-effect relationship\nduring later training absent the mechanism. The results\nprovide evidence that causal mechanisms can facilitate\ncausal attribution via H u m e a n cues-to-causality.",
