He tries to show why the ideas are important to understanding how people explain things, & why it is central to human action to think not only about the world as it is, but also about the world as it could be.PsychologyMathematical modelsCausationElectronic books.PsychologyMathematical models.Causation.122Sloman Steven A791098MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452721403321Causal models2489312UNINA
