Abstract

Dans quelles conditions les gens ont-ils tendance à croire qu’un phénomène x a été cause d’un phénomène ultérieur y ? Nous suggérons ici qu’un sens subjectif de causalité peut émerger si x explique y en tant qu’il correspond à une réduction par exemple de sa complexité au sens de Kolmogorov. Nous étudions également dans des configurations plus générales la relation existant entre l’explication et la prévisibilité entendues comme sources de ce sens subjectif de causalité.
