Base-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 کاملCausal model and sampling approaches to reducing base rate neglect
Two studies examined how sampling of base rate information and causal explanation of false positives facilitate intuitive probability judgments. Experiment 1a varied these two manipulations factorially. Each had an additive effect on reducing base rate neglect and increasing choice of the normatively correct solution. Experiment 1b showed that description of relevant distributional information ...
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 کاملMemory mechanisms in pigeons: evidence of base-rate neglect.
In delayed matching to sample, once acquired, pigeons presumably choose comparisons according to their memory for (the strength of) the sample. When memory for the sample is sufficiently weak, comparison choice should depend on the history of reinforcement associated with each of the comparison stimuli. In the present research, pigeons acquired two matching tasks in which Sample S1 was associat...
