To this day, the most prominent models of causal reasoning argue that the primary type of information used in detecting causes and effects is co-occurence information. Among the co-occurence based accounts of causal reasoning in cognitive science, there have been two general types: associationist and probabilistic.

We present a definition of cause and effect in terms of decision-theoretic primitives and thereby provide a principled foundation for causal reasoning. Our definition departs from the traditional view of causation in that causal assertions may vary with the set of decisions available.

Empirical research with nonhuman primates appears to support the view that causal reasoning is a key cognitive faculty that divides humans from animals. The claim is that animals approximate causal learning using associative processes.
