Alejandro Ramírez-Contreras; Leopoldo Zúñiga-Silva; Ezequiel Ojeda-Gómez – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
This paper reports on an exploratory study about probabilistic intuition in learning mathematics for decision-making. The analysis was carried out on a group of high school students in relation to their probabilistic intuition in problem-solving, after performing playful learning activities on a simulation platform specifically designed for this…

Boyer, Ty W. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
A computerized sequential event sampling decision-making task was administered to 187 5- to 10-year-olds and adults. Participants made a series of choices between alternatives that differed in win probability (Study 1) or win and loss probability (Study 2). Intuitive and more explicit measures were used. Study 1 revealed that, across ages,…
