Abstract

Cimpian & Salomon (C&S) provide evidence that psychological essentialism rests on a domain-general attention to inherent causes. We suggest that the inherence heuristic may itself be undergirded by a more foundational cognitive bias, namely, a realist assumption about environmental regularities. In contrast, when considering specific representations, people may be more likely to activate attention to non-inherent, contingent, and historical links.

摘要

Cimpian 和 Salomon（C&S）提供了证据，表明心理本质论基于对内在原因的普遍关注。我们认为，内在性启发式本身可能受到更基础的认知偏见的支持，即对环境规律的现实主义假设。相比之下，当考虑具体的表现形式时，人们更有可能激活对非内在、偶然和历史联系的关注。
