Causal reasoning

Matlab code for simulating models of human causal induction, used in Lu, H., Yuille, A., Liljeholm, M., Cheng, P. W., Holyoak, K. J. (2008). Bayesian generic priors for causal learning. Psychological Review, 115(4), 955-984. [PDF]

Version 1: [MATLAB CODE 1] required basic MATLAB software for simulation

Version 2: [MATLAB CODE 2] require MATLAB Symbolic Toolbox, but with faster computation ]

Analogical inference
