چکیده
We report the results of a meta-study of 118 Cognitive Reflection Test studies comprising of 44,558 participants across 21 countries. There is a negative correlation between being female and the overall, and individual, correct answers to CRT questions. Taking the test at the end of an experiment negatively impacts performance. Monetary incentives do not impact performance. Overall students perform better compared to non-student samples. Exposure to CRT over the years may impact outcomes, however, the effect is driven by online studies. We obtain mixed evidence on whether the sequence of questions matters. Finally, we find that computerized tests marginally improve results.

Cognitive reflection vs. calculation in decision making
Scores on the three-item Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) have been linked with dual-system theory and normative decision making (Frederick, 2005). In particular, the CRT is thought to measure monitoring of System 1 intuitions such that, if cognitive reflection is high enough, intuitive errors will be detected and the problem will be solved. However, CRT items also require numeric ability to be ...
متن کاملDoes maths anxiety make people bad decision-makers? The link between mathematical anxiety and cognitive reflection
When asked to solve mathematical problems, some people experience anxiety and threat, which can lead to impaired maths performance. The present studies investigated the link between maths anxiety and performance on the cognitive reflection test (CRT). The CRT is a measure of a person’s ability to resist intuitive response tendencies, and it correlates strongly with important real-life outcomes,...
متن کاملThe Cognitive Reflection Test: how much more than Numerical Ability?
Frederick’s (2005) Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) is a 3item task shown to predict susceptibility to decision-making biases better than intelligence measures. It is described as measuring ‘cognitive reflection’ a metacognitive trait capturing the degree to which people prefer to reflect on answers rather than giving intuitive responses. Herein, we ask how much of the CRT’s success can be expla...
متن کاملCognition and Individual Differences in the Newsvendor Problem: Behavior Under Dual Process Theory
Previous research has shown that individuals systematically and persistently deviate from the profit maximizing quantity when solving a newsvendor problem. This research posits that Dual Process Theory provides an underlying cognitive explanation for why individuals deviate from optimality. More specifically, this research explores the relationship between individual performance and a Dual Proc...
متن کاملBRIEF REPORT Divine Intuition: Cognitive Style Influences Belief in God
Some have argued that belief in God is intuitive, a natural (by-)product of the human mind given its cognitive structure and social context. If this is true, the extent to which one believes in God may be influenced by one’s more general tendency to rely on intuition versus reflection. Three studies support this hypothesis, linking intuitive cognitive style to belief in God. Study 1 showed that...
