We will focus in particular on the asymmetric nature of both types of inference. We b ring together expertise from philosophy, psycholog y and artificial intelligence to address the follo wing questions: How to account for the relative ea se of causal inference (reasoning from cause to ef fect) compared to diagnostic inference (reasoning from effect to cause)?Do we have to distinguish di fferent reasoning strategies to interpret conditio nal sentences and how does this relate to the dist inction between causal inference and diagnostic in ference?Are Causal Models appropriate to account f or 1. and for the analysis of conditionals?
