We present an approach to lwming to predict and explain UK outcome oi events which lies between similaritybased methods and explanation-based methods. In the approach to learning prcsentcd in this papa and implcmcntcd in a computer program called OCC~M, a theory of causality constrams tbc starch for causal hypotheses. WC present cvidcnce that pcoplc possess a theory of causality which facilitates learning causal relationships when certain spatial and temporal relationships exist bctwccn a cause and an effect.
