The world has a causal structure, in the sense that some events
make other events happen. Although understanding causal structure
is essential for predicting and controlling the environment, causal
structure is, at least usually, not obvious from superficial,
perceptual cues. How then do our minds infer this structure? In the
last few years, questions about causal inference and learning have
become an important focus of investigation in many different
disciplines - developmental psychology, cognitive psychology,
ethology, philosophy, and computer science. As is common in
scientific research, there has been relatively little interaction
on the topic between these disciplines. However, in spite of the
minimal interaction, a general review of the research shows the
beginning of a formal way of determining how, in principle, the
problem of causal inference and learning can be solved, and a
wealth of methods for determining how it is, in fact, solved by
children, adults, and animals. This volume brings together this
research and provides a more sophisticated understanding of causal
inference and learning.
