Many decisions in the lives of animals and humans require a fine balance between exploration different options exploitation their rewards. Do you buy advertised car, or do test drive models? continue feeding from current patch flowers, fly off to another one? marry your partner, try luck with someone else? The required these situations is commonly referred as exploration– tradeoff. It features prominently wide range research traditions, including learning, foraging, decision making...
Can behavior be unconsciously primed via the activation of attitudes, stereotypes, or other concepts? A number studies have suggested that such priming effects can occur, and a prominent illustration is claim individuals' accuracy in answering general knowledge questions influenced by activating intelligence-related concepts as professor soccer hooligan. In 9 experiments with 475 participants we employed procedures used these studies, well variants those procedures, an attempt to obtain this...
Abstract Using capture-recapture analysis we estimate the effective size of active Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) population that a typical laboratory can access to be about 7,300 workers. We also time taken for half workers leave MTurk pool and replaced is 7 months. Each has its own which overlaps, often extensively, with hundreds other laboratories using MTurk. Our based on sample 114,460 completed sessions from 33,408 unique participants 689 across seven in US, Europe, Australia January...
Vested interests and political agents have long opposed or regulatory action in response to climate change by appealing scientific uncertainty. Here we examine the effect of such contrarian talking points on community itself. We show that although scientists are trained dealing with uncertainty, there several psychological reasons why may nevertheless be susceptible uncertainty-based argumentation, even when recognize those arguments as false actively rebutting them. Specifically, prolonged...
We present a consensus-based checklist to improve and document the transparency of research reports in social behavioural research. An accompanying online application allows users complete form generate report that they can submit with their manuscript or post public repository.
Aspects of an experimental environment were manipulated in 3 experiments to examine the parameters under which "take-the-best" (TTB) heuristic (e.g., G. Gigerenzer & D. Goldstein, 1996) operates. Results indicated TTB use be more prevalent when cost information was high, validities cues known, and a deterministic used. However, large individual variability strategy observed as well significant proportion behavior inconsistent with TTB, expecially its stopping rule. The results demarcate some...
Abstract A striking finding has emerged recently in the literature: When decision makers are faced with essentially same choice, their preferences differ as a function of whether options described or “experienced” via observation and feedback. For example, when presented choice: (A) 90% chance $0 10% $10 (B) $1 for sure, people tend to prefer (A). But those two experienced through “draws” from payoff distributions that match options, modal preference reverses. Why? This is just one question...

Abstract Decision research in psychology has traditionally been influenced by the homo oeconomicus metaphor with its emphasis on normative models and deviations from predictions of those models. In contrast, principal cognitive conceptualizes humans as ‘information processors’, employing processes perception, memory, categorization, problem solving so on. Many described theories are similar to involved decision making, thus increasing cross-fertilization between two areas is an important...
Humanity faces an unprecedented set of global environmental problems. We argue that to promote pro-environmental decisions and achieve public consensus on the need for action we must address individual collective understanding (cognition) problems, as well commitments take mitigate or prevent those review literature pertaining psychological predispositions, mental models, framing, distance, social context help elucidate how these goals cognition commitment can be achieved. This article...
Any large dataset can be analyzed in a number of ways, and it is possible that the use different analysis strategies will lead to results conclusions. One way assess whether obtained depend on strategy chosen employ multiple analysts leave each them free follow their own approach. Here, we present consensus-based guidance for conducting reporting such multi-analyst studies, discuss how broader adoption approach has potential strengthen robustness conclusions from analyses datasets basic...
