  • Compositionally, many of Sterling's characteristics are simply those of strange fiction which exploits rather than explains with rationalism or excuses with romanticism; and his focus on irrationality, "darker elements" which refuse to be made sense of, simply point towards an overlap between the strange and the unheimlich, the natural co-occurence of the subjunctivity of "could not happen" and "should not, must not happen" and the unease which our inability to resolve this engenders.

    Causal Reasoning Chris 2005

  • If people first receive information suggesting that one event causes another to occur, they will perceive the causal strength as being higher than if they initially receive information suggesting that the same event causes another not to occur, despite the fact that over the course of the study, participants received the same co-occurence information.

  • In fact, because they are only averages, while feature co-occurence relationships across concepts will be encoded in their representation, more specific co-occurence relationships between features may not.

    Concepts II: Prototypes Chris 2005

  • To this day, the most prominent models of causal reasoning argue that the primary type of information used in detecting causes and effects is co-occurence information.

    Causal Reasoning Chris 2005

  • Recent empirical studies have produced findings that are difficult to reconcile with co-occurence theories.

    Causal Reasoning Chris 2005

  • In other words, concept representations must capture the causal, thematic, and co-occurence relationships between features that are present in the structure of the world.
