Outcome Predictability Biases Cued Search.
Within the domain of associative learning, there is substantial evidence that people (and other animals) select among environmental cues on the basis of their reinforcement history. Specifically, people preferentially attend to, and learn about, cueing stimuli that have previously predicted events of consequence (a predictiveness bias). By contrast, relatively little is known about whether peop...
متن کاملUnderstanding Analysts’ Earnings Expectations: Biases, Nonlinearities and Predictability∗
Financial analysts’ earnings forecasts are a key determinant of stock prices and understanding how these forecasts evolve over time is important. This paper studies the asymmetric behavior of negative and positive values of analysts’ earnings revisions and links it to the conservatism principle of accounting.

متن کاملEffects of Outcome Predictability on Human Learning
Cue-outcome learning is a cornerstone of intelligent action. Learning that a stimulus (the cue) can be used to predict a second event (the outcome) affords adaptive decision making. If an animal can use environmental cues to predict the presence of food (an appetitive outcome) or a predator (an aversive outcome), then it can potentially act to maximize the likelihood of the former and minimize ...
متن کاملCulture Moderates Biases in Search Decisions.
Prior studies suggest that people often search insufficiently in sequential-search tasks compared with the predictions of benchmark optimal strategies that maximize expected payoff. However, those studies were mostly conducted in individualist Western cultures; Easterners from collectivist cultures, with their higher susceptibility to escalation of commitment induced by sunk search costs, could...
