The value of research is that the prediction and control of human behaviour has led to development of treatments an therapies in which people mental disorders such as schizophrenia sufferers experience a total loss of control casting doubt about the concept free will
Cause and effect is testable

Unfalsifiable - believes that causes will exist within behaviour , this is impossible to test
In the legal system it is not possible as offenders are held accountable except from a few insanity cases others they are morally not accounted for
Biological determinism - Our characteristics are not 100% determined such as in MZ studies there are never 100% concordance rate
Environmental determinism - There must be some genetic input as there are never 0% concordance rates
Psychic determinism - Dennett argues that there can never be full determinism and things more such as the butterfly effect which states that casual relationships are more probabilistic than determined
