  • Flexible versus structured support for reasoning

    Jennifer Stromer‐galley, Patrícia Rossini et al.ARTICLEIntelligence & National Security2021

    Structured analytic techniques (SATs) help the intelligence community reduce flaws in cognition that lead to faulty reasoning. To ascertain whether SATs provide benefits to reasoning we conducted an experiment within a web-based application, comparing three conditions: 1) unaided reasoning, 2) a prototypical order-based SAT and 3) a flexible, process-based SAT that we call TRACE. Our findings suggest that the more flexible SAT generated higher qu…

  • Improving judgment accuracy by sequential adjustment

    Open AccessShenghua Luan, Lael J Schooler et al.ARTICLEPsychonomic Bulletin & Review2020

    Judging an object’s value based on relevant cues can be challenging. We propose a simple method to improve judgment accuracy: Instead of estimating a value after seeing all available cues simultaneously, individuals view cues sequentially, one after another, making and adjusting their estimate at each step. The sequential procedure may alleviate computational difficulties in cue integration, leading to higher judgment accuracy. We tested this hyp…

  • Five Principles for Studying People’s Use of Heuristics

    Julian N Marewski, Lael J Schooler et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2010

    摘要: 快速节俭启发式框架假定人们使用一套简捷的决策策略—— 启发式—— 进行推理、选择、评价及其他决策。这些启发式策略能顺应任务情境结构中的规律, 利用人类的基本认知能力。正基于此, 启发式成就了适应性行为。本文拟对启发式框架进行回顾, 并简要陈述引导研究者研究人类适应性工具箱的五条原则。我们强调, 启发式模型应(i)精确界定(ii)对照检验(iii)与策略选择理论相符(iv)能评估其对新资料的预测力(v)能既在实验室又在现实世界中得以检验

  • Reflections of the Environment in Memory

    Open AccessJohn R Anderson, Lael J SchoolerARTICLEPsychological Science1991

    Availability of human memories for specific items shows reliable relationships to frequency, recency, and pattern of prior exposures to the item. These relationships have defied a systematic theoretical treatment. A number of environmental sources ( New York Times, parental speech, electronic mail) are examined to show that the probability that a memory will be needed also shows reliable relationships to frequency, recency, and pattern of prior e…
