Individual Differences in Base-rate Neglect: A Computational Dual Process Model
Dual-process theories (DPT) of cognition posit that performance differences in reasoning stem from an interplay between heuristics-based processing (i.e., System 1) and more controlled, rule-based processing (System 2). Emerging evidence suggests that solving classic base-rate problems via Bayesian inference depends on adequately inhibiting the prepotent representations elicited by System 1 (De...
متن کاملBase-rate training without case cues reduces base-rate neglect.
Base-rate neglect is a persistent phenomenon in which subjects do not place sufficient weight on the probabilities of occurrence of relevant events. Two experiments with college students support the hypothesis that base-rate neglect may be minimized by providing base-rate training in the absence of case, or witness, cues, prior to introducing (or reintroducing) these cues. In Experiment 1, the ...
متن کاملBase-Rate Neglect and Imperfect Information Acquisition
Base-rate neglect is a robust experimental finding that individuals do not update their prior beliefs according to the Bayes’ rule and, typically, underestimate their posterior probabilities. Another empirical finding is that individuals often do not acquire information even when there are no strategic considerations and the cost of new information is justifiable economically. This paper combin...
متن کاملSupport for a Deliberative Failure Account of Base-Rate Neglect: Prompting Deliberation Increases Base-Rate Use
People often base judgments on stereotypes, even when contradictory base-rate information is provided. It has been suggested this occurs because people fail to engage or complete deliberative reasoning needed to process numerical base-rate information, and instead rely on intuitive reasoning. However, recent research indicates people have some access to this base-rate information even when they...
متن کاملEmployee Engagement and Individual Differences: A Study in Indian Context
The employee engagement has emerged as a pivotal business driver for organizational success.
