Apstrakt projekta
Ovaj projekat pripada kognitivnoj nauci. Projekat kombinuje filozofske teorije kauzalnosti u okviru pristupa manipulabilnosti i psihološke nalaze o mentalnom predstavljanju vremenskog toka. Pristup manipulabilnosti problemu kauzalnosti je izabran budući da uzima delovanje kao ključnu varijablu za definisanje uzroka. Cilj projekta je ispitati koliko ljudski kognitivni sistem doprinosi varijaciji mentalne reprezentacije uzroka i posledice. Kao osnovu takve varijacije uzimamo kognitivnu reprezentaciju vremenskog toka. Projekat daje odgovor na pitanje da li i, ako jeste, koliko različite mentalne reprezentacije vremenskog toka utiču na ljudsku sposobnost da predstavlja kauzalnost; koje su granice stabilne reprezentacije kauzalnosti?
