Knowledge-Based Causal Attribution: The Abnormal Conditions Focus Model.
Hilton, Denis J.; Slugoski, Ben R.
Psychological Review, v93 n1 p75-88 Jan 1986
A model grounded in recent ordinary language philosophy is proposed which postulates that subjects employ counterfactual and contrastive criteria of causal ascription, as unified in the notion of an abnormal condition. Two experiments satisfy the three criteria specified for an adequate test of the abnormal conditions focus model. (Author/LMO)
