Especially over the last decade, significant progress has been made towards the formal understanding of causation (Shafer, 1996; Pearl, 2000; Spirtes et al., 2000; Dawid, 2010).

- Causal learning in rats and humans: A minimal rational model (2008, background): “However, apart from causal Bayes nets there is a wealth of alternative theories of causality which are in part inconsistent with each other but still claim to provide a proper representation of causal relations in the world (see Cartwright, 1989, 2004; Dowe, 2000; Shafer, 1996).”
