 One of the first experimental studies on free will found that people seemed to have compatibilist intuitions. Participants were presented with a scenario describing a deterministic universe, and then asked whether a person in the scenario was free and morally responsible (Nahmias et al. 2006). In one case, participants were asked to imagine a future scenario in which there is a supercomputer that is capable of predicting all future human behavior when provided with a complete description of the universe along with the laws of nature. In this scenario, a man robs a bank, and participants are asked whether the man is morally responsible for his action. Somewhat surprisingly, most participants gave compatibilist answers, saying that the person was morally blameworthy. This basic finding held across a number of scenarios.
