How do people judge risks: availability heuristic, affect heuristic, or both?
How does the public reckon which risks to be concerned about? The availability heuristic and the affect heuristic are key accounts of how laypeople judge risks. Yet, these two accounts have never been systematically tested against each other, nor have their predictive powers been examined across different measures of the public's risk perception. In two studies, we gauged risk perception in stu...

متن کاملForgetting and Heuristic Inference 1 How Forgetting Aids Heuristic Inference
A few theorists, ranging from William James to contemporary psychologists, have argued that forgetting should not be seen as a nuisance but as key for the proper working of human memory. In this paper, we propose the thesis that forgetting may in addition prove beneficial for inference heuristics that exploit mnemonic information such as recognition and retrieval fluency. To explore the mechani...
متن کاملHow Forgetting Fosters Heuristic Inference
The notion that forgetting serves an adaptive function has repeatedly been put forth in the history of the analysis of human memory. Bjork and Bjork (1996), for instance, have argued that it prevents obsolete information from interfering with the recall of more current information. Here we explore functions that forgetting may play in memory-based inference strategies. To this end, we bring tog...
