Wise Crowds or Wise Minorities ?
This paper reports results from social learning experiments where subjects choose between two options and each subject has a small chance of being perfectly informed about which option is correct. In treatment “sequence,” subjects observe the entire sequence of predecessors’ choices while in treatment “no-sequence” they only observe the number of times each option has been chosen. The theoretic...
متن کاملGood listeners, wise crowds, and parasitic experts
This article comments on the article of Thorn and Schurz in this volume and focuses on, what we call, the problem of parasitic experts. We discuss that both meta-induction and crowd wisdom can be understood as pertaining to absolute reliability rather than comparative optimality, and we suggest that the involvement of reliability will provide a handle on this problem.

متن کاملCognitive Mechanisms Underlying Virtual Reality Exposure
Many studies have assessed virtual reality exposures efficacy, but very few examined its treatment processes. The addition of objective measures of arousal and information processing mechanisms would be a valuable contribution in order to provide a more complete and detailed picture. The goal of this study was to better document the cognitive mechanisms associated with therapeutic change after ...
متن کاملComputational and neurobiological mechanisms underlying cognitive flexibility.
The ability to switch between multiple tasks is central to flexible behavior. Although switching between tasks is readily accomplished, a well established consequence of task switching (TS) is behavioral slowing. The source of this switch cost and the contribution of cognitive control to its resolution remain highly controversial. Here, we tested whether proactive interference arising from memo...
