Grouping Information for Judgments
Shah, Anuj K.; Oppenheimer, Daniel M.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, v140 n1 p1-13 Feb 2011
Models of cue weighting in judgment have typically focused on how decision-makers weight cues individually. Here, the authors propose that people might recognize and weight "groups" of cues. They examine how judgments change when decision-makers focus on cues individually or as parts of groups. Several experiments demonstrate that people can spontaneously pack information into cue groups. Moreover, group-level weighting depends on how people assess similarity or how they think of categorical hierarchies. (Contains 2 tables and 2 figures.)
