Explanation in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Social Sciences (2017, background): “Gerstenberg and Lagnado [48] show that the model has strong predictive power at attributing responsibility to individuals in groups.”
Do Social Norms Influence Causal Inferences? (2014, background): “To test whether normative evaluations really affect causal inference, it is necessary to disambiguate the test question.”
Intuitive Theories (2020, background): “…people's attributions of responsibility are closely linked to their causal understanding of the situation (Gerstenberg, Halpern, & Tenenbaum, 2015; Gerstenberg & Lagnado, 2010, 2012; Lagnado et al., 2013; Zultan, Gerstenberg, & Lagnado, 2012) and their intuitive theory of how other people would…”
Finding fault: Causality and counterfactuals in group attributions (2012, unknown): “Gerstenberg and Lagnado (2010) varied the way in which individual scores were combined to determine the team score.”
Causal Responsibility and Counterfactuals (2013, methodology): “The results from Gerstenberg and Lagnado (2010) and Zultan et al. (2012) confirm that the structural approach to responsibility successfully explains attributions to players who, in retrospect, would not have altered the team outcome.”
From Trolley to Autonomous Vehicle: Perceptions of Responsibility and Moral Norms in Traffic Accidents with Self-Driving Cars (2016, background): “In the current study, blame ratings for each party were analyzed independently from one another, even though responsibility and blame are generally allocated across multiple parties depending on their contributions to the outcome [32].”
Causal superseding. (2015, result): “For example, previous work has shown that people's causal and responsibility attributions are reduced in situations in which the outcome was causally overdetermined by multiple individually sufficient causes (Gerstenberg & Lagnado, 2010, 2012; Lagnado et al., 2013; Zultan et al., 2012).”
