• The Problem of Induction (2006, methodology): “We have already mentioned that Thagard (1989, 2000) develops models of the method of reflective equilibrium using a certain sort of connectionist system of constraint satisfaction and his models exhibit this worrisome fragility.”
• Information distortion in the evaluation of a single option (2007, background): “Thagard (2000) discusses Wve types of coherence, which diVer from each other based on the elements of knowledge involved.”
• A Naturalistic Exploration of Forms and Functions of Analogizing (2009, background): “The pioneering researchers have seen value in regarding analogy as being an element in a more general theory of inference constraint (eg, Forbus, 2001 ; Hofstadter, 2001 ; Thagard, 2000 ).”
• Argumentation, Dialogue Theory, and Probability Modeling: Alternative Frameworks for Argumentation Research in Education (2011, background): “When individuals judge the strength of an argument, to what extent do these judgments reflect probability or expected utility versus some other construct such as explanatory coherence (Thagard, 2000, 2004; Ranney & Schank, 1998)?”
• Intractable Conflict as an Attractor (2007, background): “The alignment of different conflict elements between and across levels reflects a tendency toward coherence in psychological and social systems (cf. Thagard, 2000; Vallacher & Nowak, in press).”
• Effects of Amount of Information on Judgment Accuracy and Confidence (2008, background): “A number of studies have shown that causal reasoning is largely influenced by the extent to which an explanation is perceived as coherent in terms of narrative structure or explanatory elements (Goldman, Graesser, & van den Broek, 1999; Graesser, Singer, & Trabasso, 1994; Hastie & Pennington, 2000; ”
• It's Fascinating Research (2008, neutral): “Thagard, P. (2000). (See References).”
• What Dilemma? Moral Evaluation Shapes Factual Belief (2013, result): “…little direct insight into underlying mechanisms, but the available evidence is consistent with models of explanatory coherence (Read et al., 1997; Thagard, 2004) which posit that individuals construct beliefs and preferences through a process of parallel constraint satisfaction (e.g., Simon,…”
• Understanding Cognition Through Large-Scale Cortical Networks (2002, background): “Because some influences are undoubtedly in conflict, whereas others are mutually consistent, a mechanism is needed to mutually satisfy these multiple constraints in order to produce a unified and coherent cognitive state (Thagard, 2000).”
• Complex Declarative Learning. (2005, methodology): “For example, Thagard (1989, 2000) has explored a computational network model called ECHO in which consistency is defined as the lack of contradictions between assertions and hypotheses.”
• Learning to Troubleshoot: A New Theory-Based Design Architecture (2006, methodology): “Thagard (2000) analyzed the process of diagnosing disease states and”
• Entrepreneurship in Russia and China: The Impact of Formal Institutional Voids (2010, background): “The three pillars have to 444 ENTREPRENEURSHIP THEORY and PRACTICE cohere in order to make sense to those who rely on them (Thagard, 2000).”
• The Role of Epistemic Emotions in Personal Epistemology and Self-Regulated Learning (2018, background): “Given the direct tie between epistemic emotions and other epistemic processes (Thagard, 2000, 2008), philosophical theories of emotions have taken into consideration their cognitive significance (Arango-Mu~noz & Michaelian, 2014; de Sousa, 2008; Dokic, 2012).”
