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 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 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. Using a new three-state mixture of log-normals model that accounts for differences in ...
متن کاملPredictability, Complexity, and Learning
We define predictive information I(pred)(T) as the mutual information between the past and the future of a time series. Three qualitatively different behaviors are found in the limit of large observation times T:I(pred)(T) can remain finite, grow logarithmically, or grow as a fractional power law. If the time series allows us to learn a model with a finite number of parameters, then I(pred)(T) ...
متن کاملAcquiring Word Learning Biases
Previous research has shown that infants can acquire a “shape bias” in word learning when presented with labels that are perfectly correlated with object shape. However, little research examines whether children can acquire a non-shape word learning bias. Research on inducing this bias can help inform the origins of the shape bias. In our experiment, 3 year-old children successfully acquired a ...
