Before you turn this problem in, make sure everything runs as expected. First, restart the
kernel (in the menubar, select Kernel→Restart) and then run all cells (in the menubar,
select Cell→Run All).

Assignment 6.1
According to Mechanism-Model-Mapping, which requirements does a model need to fulfill
to be considered mechanistic and why is the decision making process in the Lange et al.
(2020) paper not a mechanistic model?
To have a mechanistic model it must meet the following 2 requirements:
A) the variables in the model correspond to identifiable components, activities and
organizational features of the target mechanism that produces, maintains, or underlies the
phenomenon.
B) the dependencies posited among these variables in the model correspond to causal
relations among the components of the target mechanism.
The process described in the paper by Lange, et al. (2020), is NOT a mechanistic model,
because it posits 'unobservables' or intervening variables which do not correspond to the
real mechanism. This indicates that the process described by Lange, et al. (2020), is a how-
possibly model.
Assignment 6.2
Why were the stimuli associated with the three experiments in Lange et al. (2020)
presented in different quadrants of the visual field? What was the purpose of the first
experiment (green)?
The stimuli associated with the 3 experiments in Lange et al (2020), were presented in
different quadrants of the visual field, because in that way you can prevent cross-over in
kernel (in the menubar, select Kernel→Restart) and then run all cells (in the menubar,
select Cell→Run All).
