Some systematic biases of everyday judgment
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Psychological research shows that daily judgment and reasoning are biased in predictable ways. Three common problems lead to judgment bias, namely, the 'compared to what' problem, the 'seek and ye shall find' problem and the selective memory problem. The scientific method was developed as an inferential safeguard for the inaccuracy of everyday judgment. Unfortunately, the scientific method is not widely taught and appreciated.

A dynamic context model of interactive behavior was developed to explain results from two experiments that tested the effects of interaction costs on encoding strategies, cognitive representations, and response selection processes in a decision-making and a judgment task. The model assumes that the dynamic context defined by the mixes of internal and external representations and processes are s...
