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 modelsCausationPsychologyMathematical models.Causation.122Sloman Steven A791098MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779414003321Causal models3733758UNINA
