Camilleri, Adrian R.; Newell, Ben R. – Cognition, 2013
Previous research has shown that many choice biases are attenuated when short-run decisions are reframed to the long run. However, this literature has been limited to description-based choice tasks in which possible outcomes and their probabilities are explicitly specified. A recent literature has emerged showing that many core results found using…

Jepma, Marieke; Wagenmakers, Eric-Jan; Nieuwenhuis, Sander – Cognition, 2012
People are able to use temporal cues to anticipate the timing of an event, enabling them to process that event more efficiently. We conducted two experiments, using the fixed-foreperiod paradigm (Experiment 1) and the temporal-cueing paradigm (Experiment 2), to assess which components of information processing are speeded when subjects use such…

Scherer, Aaron M.; Windschitl, Paul D.; O'Rourke, Jillian; Smith, Andrew R. – Cognition, 2012
People must often engage in sequential sampling in order to make predictions about the relative quantities of two options. We investigated how directional motives influence sampling selections and resulting predictions in such cases. We used a paradigm in which participants had limited time to sample items and make predictions about which side of…
