Hot hand thinking in children
Risky Behavior
Illusionary pattern detection in habitual gamblers
Mechanisms of age-related decline in memory search across the adult life span
Three alternative mechanisms for age-related decline in memory search have been proposed, which result from either reduced processing speed (global slowing hypothesis), overpersistence on categories (cluster-switching hypothesis), or the inability to maintain focus on local cues related to a decline in working memory (cue-maintenance hypothesis). We investigated these 3 hypotheses by formally modeling the semantic recall patterns of 185 adults be…
Expectations of clumpy resources influence predictions of sequential events
The hot hand phenomenon as a cognitive adaptation to clumped resources
Life history variables and risk-taking propensity
Cognitive Aging and Adaptive Foraging Behavior
We conducted two experiments comparing younger and older adults' ability to adjust their foraging behavior as a function of task characteristics. Participants foraged for fish in a virtual landscape and had to decide when to move between ponds so as to maximize the number of fish caught. In the first experiment, participants were left to generate their own foraging strategy, whereas in the second experiment, participants were instructed to use an…
Are readers of Evolution and Human Behavior interesting people? A review of Hanna Kokko's Modelling for Field Biologists and Other Interesting People
Domain Specificity in Experimental Measures and Participant Recruitment
We challenge the prevailing notion that risk taking is a stable trait, such that individuals show consistent risk-taking/aversive behavior across domains. We subscribe to an alternative approach that appreciates the domain-specific nature of risk taking. More important, we recognize heterogeneity of risk profiles among experimental samples and introduce a new methodology that takes this heterogeneity into account. Rather than using a convenient s…
