222Disposition, Explanation, and Causation—A Defense of the Reformed Conditional Analysis of DispositionPhilosophia 38 (3): 569-577. 2010.D. Lewis proposed the reformed conditional analysis of disposition to handle Martin's influential counterexamples to the simple counterfactual analysis. Some philosophers, however, argue that the mere fact that the reformed conditional analysis of disposition can handle Martin's counterexamples should not be regarded as a reason to prefer the reformed conditional analysis to the simple analysis. In this paper, I argue that the reformed version should be preferred not because it can handle Martin…Read more

57Schizophrenia: Putting context in contextBehavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (1): 98-99. 2003.Although context-processing deficits may be core features of schizophrenia, context remains a poorly defined concept.

We offer several useful ways of framing context and discuss enhancing or facilitating schizophrenic patients' performance under different contextual situations. Furthermore, creativity may be a byproduct of cognitive uncoordination.

91The goodness of judgment indexBehavioral and Brain Sciences 27 (3): 344-345. 2004.Evidence is presented indicating that mainstream social psychology material leads undergraduates to conclude that people are irrational. To help address the problems identified by Krueger & Funder (K&F), a new statistic, the Goodness of Judgment Index (GJI), is presented. A concrete example based on a recent study is used to show how the GJI can be used to bring some balance back to research emphasizing error and bias.

176Causal condition, causal asymmetry, and the counterfactual analysis of causationSynthese 67 (2). 1986.In a recent paper Causal Asymmetry, Douglas Ehring has proposed an intriguing solution to the vexing problem of causal asymmetry. The aim of this paper is to show that his theory is not satisfactory. Moreover, the examples that I use in showing the defect of Ehring's theory also indicate that the counterfactual analysis of causation has a problem that cannot be remedied by Marshall Swain's suggested refinement of the counterfactual analysis of causation in Causation and Distinct Events.
