Adaptable history biases in human perceptual decisions.
When making choices under conditions of perceptual uncertainty, past experience can play a vital role. However, it can also lead to biases that worsen decisions. Consistent with previous observations, we found that human choices are influenced by the success or failure of past choices even in a standard two-alternative detection task, where choice history is irrelevant. The typical bias was one...
متن کاملWhen do Investors Exhibit Stronger Behavioral Biases?∗
This paper examines whether individual investors exhibit stronger behavioral biases when value ambiguity or information uncertainty is higher. Using a six year (1991 to 1996) panel of retail stock holdings and trades, I find that investors are more overconfident and exhibit stronger disposition effect when stocks are more difficult to value. Furthermore, using trading correlation as a proxy for...
متن کاملDebiasing context effects in strategic decisions: Playing against a consistent opponent can correct perceptual but not reinforcement biases
Vlaev and Chater (2006) demonstrated that the cooperativeness of previously seen prisoner’s dilemma games biases choices and predictions in the current game. These effects were: a) assimilation to the mean cooperativeness of the played games caused by action reinforcement, and b) perceptual contrast with the preceding games depending on the range and the rank order of their cooperativeness. We ...
متن کاملSunk Cost and Target Achievement Biases in Subsequent IS-Outsourcing Decisions
Early IS-outsourcing research is mainly based on three assumptions: the research results are normative, the decision maker acts in a completely rational manner, and the decision is made at a single point in time. Within the last decade, some of these assumptions have been softened, and studies have attempted to broaden the research by investigating the IS-outsourcing decision process from a mor...
متن کاملComparison of Perceptual and Motor Decisions via Confidence Judgments
This study investigated the effects on perceptual and motor decisions of low-contrast distractors, presented 5° on the left and/or the right of the fixation point. Perceptual decisions were assessed with a Yes/No (distractor) detection task. Motor decisions were assessed via these distractors’ effects on the trajectory of an impending saccade to a distinct imperative stimulus, presented 10° abo...
