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.How people think about the world and its alternativesPsychologyMathematical modelsCausationPsychologyMathematical models.Causation.122Sloman Steven A.791098MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955467803321Causal models4404947UNINA
