When Explanations Compete: The Role of Explanatory Coherence on Judgements of Likelihood.
Sloman, Steven A.
Cognition, v52 n1 p1-21 Jul 1994
Adult subjects were asked to judge the probability of a conclusion by itself and in the context of a related statement. When the conclusion and the related statement could be derived from the same explanation, the subjects judged the conclusion as more probable than when they judged the conclusion by itself. (BC)
