cognitive 2A
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| category | set of objects events, actract entites -> treated as equivalent in some way |
| concept | mental rep of a category, def used to decide if smthn part of category |
| why need categories | prevent info overload, make informed predics |
| problems w categories | overgeneralisations, stereotyping |
| theories of conceptual representation | 1. Definitional approach 2. Prototype approach 3. exemplar approach 4. theory/knowledge based approach |
| Definitional approach | - classical view, old - item must fall under category definition to be part of category - all membs equally good examples of category, all or nothing approach - eg triangle |
| definitional approach evaluation | - reductive, doesn't allow nuance or exceptions (dog w 3 legs) |
| Prototype approach | - probabilistic - concepts defined by resemblance to prototypical membs of category prototype = central, core experience of said category, average of all experience w that concept - graded membership = membs w closer resemblance to protoype = better |
| Prototype approach evaluation | +successfully/usefully applied + lead to typicality, basic level, fam resemblance - doesn't represent variability within category |
| typicality effect Rosch 1973 | Rosch 1973 - sentence verification task - ppl respond "yes" faster to more central membs/items - tested adults + children |
| typicality | extent to which smthn is typ memb of category (central = typical, peripheral = atypical) |
| typicality effect pölszler + hannikainen 2022 | - show typicality effect applies to abstract concepts (basic needs) - study 1 (free listing) + study 2 (rating) = mroe typical listen more freq, earleir on - study 3 (sentence ver task) = classified faster typ |
| Family resemblance | -Rosch + Mervis 1975 - most typical items = most traits in common (5 most typical furniture= 13 traits in common, least typ = 2 traits) - tendency for membs in cat to be similar to each other, w/o having any 1 characteristic common to all of them |
| basic level of categorisation | superordinate = most vague (furniture) basic = adequate specificity (chair) subordinate = most specific (kitchen chair) - basic = natural lvl objects named at - highest level where items share characteristics - first learned - experience* |
| Exemplar approach | - probabilistic - no prototype assumed, concepts stored by examples of cat prev encountered - concept made up of remembered examples |
| Exemplar approach evaluation | - represents variability |
| Probabilistic approaches | - blink + bayer 2022 - prototype + exemplar cats can be formed simultaneously - diff cog mechanisms underly categorisation - protype = parietal areas (mid brain) - exemplar = memory related (hippocamp, inferior temporal gyrus) |
| Theory/knowledge based approaches | - barsalou 1983,5 concepts = knowledge based, driven by inuitive/learned theories of world - explains ad hoc + goal derv - Rips et al 1989 round shape = pizza or quarter? pizza = most common answer, based on knowledge pizza more variable in size |
| ad-hoc and goal derived categories | - ad-hoc = spontaneously constructed novel categories (things to take to desert island) - goal derived = ad hoc, cats once ad hoc but established in men due to freq use (things to pack in suitcase) |
| Network models of knowledge representation | 1. Semantic Network Model 2. Hub + Spoke Model |
| Semantic Network Model | - Collins, Quillian, Loftus 1975 - each concept = node, connected bu pathways - memory retrieval = spreading activation (from og node to connected nodes) - pathways btwn nodes = have smthn in common - linked to typicality |
| Hub + Spoke Model | - Patterson et al 2007 - semantic knowledge = neural network consisting of hub + spoke - hub = central, amodal, assumed placed in anterior temporal lobes (ATL) - spokes = modality specific regions (motor, visual, words) |
| evidence of hub + spoke | those w semantic dementia = ATL atrophy, impairments across modalities + types of conceptual knowledge |
| mnemonic devices | techniquess/tools used to improve memory |
| 3 factors of mnemonic devices | worthen + hunt (2012) = organisation, elaboration, mental imagery |
| organisation | - connecting new info to existing info = key to long term memory - not necessarily abt what items have in common - org info better remembered than unorg |
| elaboration | - enriching info w details by connecting to prior knowledge - cant be connected to meaningful (relevant)/unmeaningful (random) -> aim= make smthn stick out |
| mental imagery | form of elaboration enahnaces mem espesh if interactive/bizarre mental imagery |
| memorisation techniques | method of loci, peg word method, link method |
| method of loci | 1. list of items to memorise 2. envisage familiar location 3. commit list of items to memory 4. plase items in diff spot within familiar locash retrieval = walkign through "mind palace" + find items/images left there -advan = independent item retr |
| peg word method | 1. learn list of words connecting w number (1 = bun, 2 = shoe) 2. form visual imagery of number word + item want to remember (info to remember hung on peg) - enhance serial learning - advan = can go back + forth btwn pegs, can recall items in any ord |
| link method | 1. form images of items wish to remember 2. link one image to the other, building a story disadvan = if forget one item, may not access rest of linked info |
| effectiveness of mnemonic devices | roediger 1980 - partips studies 3 lists of 20 words using rehearsal, simple imagery + MDs - immediate + delayed recall r = significant improvement in mem recall when partips use MDs - student sample - insufficient mastery of MDs |
| ericsson 2003 on memory athletes | memory athletes = right tools (MDs) + intensive practice |
| maguire et al (2003) | compared brain anatmoy + activation patterns in mem athletes and nonmem ath results: - no diff in brain anatomy - distinct brain activation patterns in mem athletes during memorisation (att = MDs) - method of loci = visuospatial areas |
| Dresler et al (2017) | mnemonic training in non-mem athletes. investigated functional connectivity in brain areas associated w mem + visuapsatial processing b4 and after training |
| dresler et al method | session 1 =partips memd 72wrds, free recall after 20 mins + 24 hrs - then assigned diff considhes (active traning = loci, active control = less effective MD, passive control = no MD) session 2 = 4 month follow up test of 72 words |
| dresler et al results | change in num of recalled words from sesh 1 MD traning condish = significantly higher amnt of word recall in all 3 tests |
| dresler et al fMRI findings | - neural changes in connectivity in MD group, similar to mem athletes, none in control group -resting state = btwn-network similarities btwn MD + mem athletes - encoding state = within-networksimilarities |
| Roediger, McDermott, Balota, Pyc (Unpublished) | - mem athletes outperform controls (undergrads from washing uni st louis US) in word/nonword task, WM task, stroop test (attentional control + inhibition) |
| alcohol | - derivatives of water where one H atom replaces w an alkyl group (R) - ethanol = comp used in alc bevs |
| prenatal alc exposure, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders | - diff to diagnose (facial = thin upper lip, no philtrum), rely on mother's self report, same symptoms caused by other factors (cig, other subst, malnut, inapp med care) - damage to child brain = neurogenesis + myelination, diff brain structs |
| cog impacts of FASD | - reduced intellectual ability (less than IQ 70, many FASD exceed) - reduced verbal/nonverbal IQ - attention def (early onset, diff shifting atten + encoding, less resp to some meds) - exec functs (behav + emosh reg probs, meta cog ctrl, task switch) |
| post natal alc exposure | - supressed neuron firing - diffs in brain structs in ados who binge drink + those who dont (accelerated decrease in grey matter, reduced increase in white matter - lees et al 2000 = impaired mem |
| post natal alc exposure - granato et al 2012 | red numb + duration of dendritic spiking in layer 5 pyramidal neurons (supressed neuron firing |
| alcohol + inhibition | - increase in inhib - alc mimics GABA (inhib neurtrans) > reduces neural excitation. incrs inhib, reduction in neurons firing - reduce stress, calm NS - tolerance = brain fighting against effects, increase firing to maintain vigilance |
| Alcohol Myopia Theory | Steele + Josephs, 1990 - mental short-sightedness - decide what most imp at one point (convo, reciting address to taxi) - increase focus on task = increased inhib BUT ALSO disinhib behav bcuz inability to respond to/consider mult stim |
| Alcohol effect on memory | - STM spared, episodic impaired - alc disrupts TRANSFER of info from STM to LTM (attkinson + shiffrin 1968) - impact hippocamp function, disrup binding + transfer of info back to neocortex |
| anterograde amnesia | - inability to create new mems when under inf - rapid spike in blood alc shuts down norm processing - MBO deps on quant + speed of consump (gender = males more water content, alc disperses in water content) |
| fragmentary mbo | - dont recall straight away - things come back spontaneously or when prompted by cue |
| en bloc MBO | - dont recall at all - cant retrieve bcuz didnt encode |
| differing vulnerability to mbos | - spear. 2018 - Jackson, Donaldsopn, Dering unpublished |
| spear, 2018 - vulnerability to MBOs | - binge drinking in ado > reduced cog inhib, elevated impulsivity, deficits in exec funct = predict alc use 3-6 yrs later - genetics play negligible role in instigation of ado drinking, inf increase drinking once started |
| Jackson, Donaldson + Dering (unpublished) | - 2 partip groups (no drink vs MBO once monthly - recog mem task - no diff in accurcy/performance on task - ERPs show diff neural signals for each type of respon - topographs show MBO group reduced familiarity resp (only def recollection) |
| Semantic Memory | general knowledge+ facts about world |
| Episodic Memory | - Memory for personal experiencess or episodes in life - Mental time travel (tulving 2002) Reexperience ones own experiences |
| Recall | - Ability to bring previously experienced/learned info to mind without cue Free recall, serial recall, cued recall |
| Free recall | Shown list of words, asked to remember + order doesn’t matter |
| Serial recall | Shown list ofwords, asked to recall in order they were presented |
| Cued recall | Show pairs of words, when tested shown one of the pair and asked to recall the other |
| Recognition | - Ability to recognise prev experienced/learned info with cue Familiarity, recollection |
| Familiarity | - Recognition w/o retrieval of contextual information When you know you should know but don’t |
| Recollection | - Conscious retrieval of details Sure you do remember |
| neuropsych impairments to understand episodic mem processes | korsakoffs syndrom - dementia-like symps - preventable, typically long term alcoholics (thymine + vit b1 deficiency) - reduced vol in hippocam > episodic mem impairment (Maillard et al 2021) alzheimers - Reduced hippocamp vol, connectivity |
| neuropsych impairments to understand Semantic dementia | ○ Damage to anterior temporal lobes ○ Struggle to access concepts, words meaning Can remember where + did yesterday -> able to access episodic mem |
| neuropsych impairments to understand Developmental amnesia | ○ Damage in hippocamp as child § Many = impairment to both semantic + episodic § As child = rely on episodic to encode semantic, don’t have as large of a semantic bank |
| Semanticisation of episodic of mem | - Experience event -> small detailts forgotten but gist remains, learn from experiences -> epsi mem w rich detail becomes semantic knowledge - Robin moscovitch (2017) ○ Probable that semantic + episodic rely on each other |
| Standard consolidation theory | - consolidation of mem trace (happens in sleep) - happens over night - connections btwn hippocamp + other regions = vital, where info stored - info bound = sent to neocrotex for storage - leave hippocamp to amke space for new mems |
| Prospective Memory | - Remembering to do things in future - Set intention to do something that hasn’t yet happened - Remembering to carry out intended actions Tied to events and times |
| Event-based prospective memory | Remember to carry out task when circumstances correct |
| Interruptions | impairment to prospec mem - Divert attention from task at hand, rapidly - New task takes all attention Problem = don’t know when distraction finishes, unable to cue return to original task |
| PAM Theory (preparatory attentional + memory processes theory) | - working mem at vigilance - success prospec = maintain WM response - process not automatic, constrained by WM cap - rely on retrospec = distinguish btwn target = non target actions |
| Multi-process theory | - Eventbased prospec involves strategic + automatic monitoring ○ Not relying on working mem Intentions can be retrieved spontaneously + just pop into mind |
| Autobiographical Memory | - Mem for events of own life functioning to define identity |
| Autonoetic memories | - Experiential memory ○ Last day of school, first day at campus |
| Infantile Amnesia | - Inability to recall autobio mems from early childhood - bio = insuff dev of hippocamp (70% of neurons) + frontal cortex @ infancy - cog = unable to und signif of event lang = exps happening b4 abil tp express = cant express later |
| Reminiscence bump | - Recall disprop numb of autobio mems from adolescence + early adulthood - novelty = stabillity - most pos events (life scripts, thigns imagined from young age) - period of identity form - consequential life choices, life development - dip l8r |
| time based prospective mem | - Remember to carry out task at certain time - Best to scaffold intention onto something concrete - Supports mem, know when right time to access (retrieve) - Sellen et al 1997 |
| Sellen et al 1997 | ○ Attaching mem to spec time or event ○ Press button every 2 hrs or every time go into room ○ No watches, clocks ○ note if thought about button ○ Ppl in time group = thought abt memory more often ○ Ppl in room group = way more acc |
| Pulses | - Intentions which are time locked ○ Ill meet my friend at 11, straight after this lec Event (lec) + time (11) |
| Steps | - Intent w wide timeframe ○ Going to buy card sometime today No event no fixed time |
| Intermediates | - Somewhat attached to event but no time Ill call mum during my lunch |
| Noetic memories | - Factual knowledge of self ○ I went to this school ○ I know that this happened |
| Copies | Vivid mems w lots of irrelevant detail |
| Reconstructions | Mems not accurate, include interpretations made w hindsight influence how remember |
| Generic mems | Location of usual family hoiday + experience of being there |
| Specific mems | - Particular event happened on last holiday |
| Field perspec | - Remembering event from own perspec |
| Internal Attention | internally generated thoughts + sensations, overlaps w other cog processes |
| External Attention | selection of info in our environ |
| Focused Attention | direct atten to partic stim + maintain focus for period of time |
| Divided Attention | Sharing attentional resources btwn more than opne task/modality (visual, auditory) |
| Dichotic Listening Paradigm | - studies in which multiple streams of auditory input are given to participant. streams must differ in some way to test attentional capabilities and tendencies |
| Shadowing | - repeating back what is heard as it is being heard |
| Broadbent’s Early Selection Model | - one of first info-processing models - sees cog processing syst as series of channels - dichotic listening = interference avoicded when partip told which stream imp (cocktail pp) - broadbent 1958 - |
| Treisman’s Attenuation Theory | - attention based on priority - treisman 1964 - attention filter = flexible, adapts to demands based on hierarchy of imp/difference |
| Resource Theory | - Kahneman 1973 - atten limited resource, directed/divided as required up to max limit - central processing unit = allows atten ot be flex across mult inputs |
| Dual-Task Paradigm | - division of atten - atten = limited rs divided btwn tasks - more similar tasks = lower perform (sharing atten + cog rs), comp for atten rs = wrse perform - challenges idea of single atten rs (multiple indp pools of atten, similar taks compete |
| Baddeley’s model of working memory | 1974 - central executive (directs attention) - episodic buffer (puts diff input into meaningful mem, merge w existing LTM stores) - visuospatial sketchpad (visual info storage) - phonological loop (auditory info storage) - a |
| Vigilance | - sustained attention - harder to sustain atten w higher WM load |
| Attention | William James = taking into mind one of many stim objects/trains of thought (focalisation, concentration, consciousness) focus on partic stim, ignore other stim |
| cocktail party problem | - cherry 1953 - hearing name when attending to other auditory stream - study: partips played diff auditory messages simult OR diff aud mess to each ear. asked to repeat only one voice after OR repeat message as being played (shadowing) |
| broadbent's early selection model PROS | -supports cherry's findings, unattended mess = filtered, only MINIMALLY processed - supported by dichotic listening task (cherry studies) = sets of numbs prioritised by ear (by stream of processing) rather than simult |
| early selection model CONS | - ppl can detect name even in unattended message - experienced shadows = detect reasonable amnt of detail from unattended message |
| triesmans attenuation theory studies | - one side of audio starts before other - partips told to repeat as much as poss from side started first - 9 conditions: - same voice, lang + diff text - m/f voice + same lang + diff text - m/f voice + diff langs - same voice + diff langs |
| triesman study findings | -diff in voice = partips reject irrelevant info more effish - same voice, diff lang = selection poss but not as effish as diff voice - same voice + lang = selection based on prob of word transition + context |
| triesman theory eval | - do hear meaningful info when not pay atten, do monitor unattended messages - dich list 1960 = 2 diff stories to 2 ears, switched stories to opp ears halfway, individs folloed story/messages content when ear switch occur, realsd shdwing wrng er + wentb |
| Late Selection Model | - Deutsch + Deutsch, 1963 - all info processed for meaning - selection happens late, at mem level - dont have to be aware/attend to mess for it to be processed - filter eliminated info even if already processed |
| late selection EVAL | - can accnt for processing of non-shadowed materia - better than broadbent's |
| evidence for resource theory | spotlight theory - LaBerfe 1983 - visual atten = spotlight which can be directed even wo eye mvmnt - overt shift of attn = moving eyes - covert = moving atten while keeping eyes fixed - how big spotlight exp by zoom lens theory (Eriksen ea 1985( |
| resource theory eval | - attention limit = not capacity of single central channel, rather atten = limited resource to disturb approp |
| dual task paradigm model | Wickens, 2002 - stages of processing (top) = percep, cog, response - processing modalities (left) = visual, audit - codes for how input processes (bottom left) - spatial, verbal - responses (top right) = manual/spatial, vocal/verbal |
| hakim et al 2020 | - atten + mem - lapses in atten = greater impact than duration of interval |
| sustained attention | Parasurman, 1979 1. successive discrimination = identify small change to same target (light brighter/larger) 2. simultaneous discrimination = a change to 1 target within an array of sim stim (1/5 lights change colour) |
| sensory mem | - info from environ - exp thru senses - transmitted quickly to brain thru elec impulses |
| WM | - works upon what laready known - lost or passed on (encoded) |
| LTM | - knowledge base of human brain - large amnts of info to be stored indefinitley |
| cog biases of info processing | - attentional bias - interpretive bias - memory bias |
| role of dep and anx in info processing | cog control impairments - eysenck et al 2007 = dep = diff in limit access of neg info in WM - jooyman et al 2007 = links to rumination impaired attentional disenagement - anx reduces WM cap - poor atten shiftin |
| attentional bias (cog bias) | - focus on threat inducing/neg stim comp to neutral/when presented w neutral - fast atten eng, slow diseng w threat stim - atten stge btwn sensory mem and WM |
| assessing attentional bias (cog bias) | - dot probe task - eye tracking dat |
| dot probe task (cog biases) | - focus on central fixation cross, then view 2 stim of diff emoshes - allocation of atten meas by record speed of atten to dot replacing pic - atten bias = shorter latency when dot replaces neg stim (faster to look at neg face) |
| dot probe task findings (cog bias) | - anx = strong atten bias (regardless is stim presented above/below conc awareness) - inc engagement = reduced diseng w neg stim = both contribute ind to atten bias anx = atten bias involves largely automatic, unconc processes - not as strong in dep |
| limitations of dot probe task (cog bias) | - depends on reaction time dat (key press latency) = imposs to know atten disengagement vs engagement - research showing validity/reliability issues of task = Chapman et al 2022 (difffereng dat as stim appear enough time atten go elsewhere b4 stim shown |
| dot probe task criticism studies (cog bias) | chapman et al 2019 thigpen et al 2018 meissel et al 2022 |
| eye tracking dat (cog bias) | armstrong + olatunji 2012 = partips eye mvnts trckedd while view displays of diff facial stim - anx = higher atten bias +sens to neg stim comp to ctrl - dep = lower sens to pos stim (longer to fixate on, less maintained atten) comp to ctrl |
| interpretive bias (cog bias) | - tendency to interp ambig sitches/stim as threat - WM stage - weaker evidence for dep and interp bias |
| assessing interp bias (cog bias) | homophone task ambiguous scenarios |
| homophone task (cog bias) | eysenck et al, 1987 - present words that sound same but diff spelling + meaning = threatening and nonthreatening (eg pane vs pain, dye vs die) - meas numb of threatening interps - as trait anx increases, so does numb of threatening homophone interps |
| ambig scenarios (cog bias) | walsh et al 2015 - presentation of ambig scenarios + meas numb of threatening interps (eg knowing less than peers at quiz, threat = feel stupid, non threat = bad luck) - anx = strong interp bias, partic in social and intellectual scenarios comp to he |
| interpretive bias = conscious and unconscious underlying processes (cog bias) | controlled conscious - calvo + castillo, 1997 = highly anx show interp bias @ 1250ms latency not 500 (more likely w more time) unconscious automatic - moser ea 2012 = n4 ERP = larger surprise to pos outcms of scenarios w ppl w social phobia |
| memory bias (cog bias) | - tendency to recal neg mems/info/details comp to pos/neutral - explicit mem bias = conscious recoll - implicit = unconc recoll - retrieval stage |
| ERPs | event related potentials |
| memory bias findings (cog bias) | anx - no implicit mem bias - weaker explicit mem bias (herrera et al 2017) dep - exp + imp mem bias found - taking holisuitc info processing apprsch (everaert ea 2020) |
| Theories of cognitive biases in mental health | 1. combined cognitive bias hypothesis 2. cognitive vulnerability hypothesis |
| combined cognitive bias hypothesis | - diff CBs are intercon - incrs in 1 = incrs in others findings - changes in atten bis thru training > chngs in interp bias + viceversa - changes in interp . chngs in mem + vv |
| cog vulnerability hypothesis | - dev of anx + dep due to disposition/vulnerability + neg life events findings, platt et al 2023 - neg interp bias @ age 9-14 predicted dep symptoms (not MDD onset) 30 mths ltr - only predicted if exp 4+ neg life events within 30 mths |
| therapy (cog bias + mental health) | cognitive bias modification |
| cognitive bias modification (cog bias + mental health) | chllnge = establish cause + effect relashe btwn cpg biases + dep/anx solush = test if training to reduce cog bias = redu dep/anx |
| cognitive bias modification training (cog bias + mental health) | -dot probe task (shift atten to pos stim) > attentional bias - ambig sentences (prsnt ambig sentences that primes following word fragment that can only be completed w pos/neutral word) > interp bias |
| cogntive bias modification findings | - strong effects of Db modification on anx, partic when targeting interp bias - less clear for dep |
| Dual-process theory | kahenman 2003 system 1 - automatic, fast proce - use of heuristics - effortless - implicit processing - more error prone - emosh af syst 2 - slow, serial proces - rules + algorithms - effortful - explicit - deliberation, controlld |
| Bounded rationality | simon 1957 - aim to make rational judgements and deci, but bounded byt cog limits and environ - ppl are rational within cog limits |
| Representativeness heuristic | - judge item/person as belong to spec cat because descrip suggests typ of that cat - conseq = neglecting base rate info in favour of descrip, content info - lawyer vs engineer (tversky + kahneman, 1973) |
| Conjunction fallacy | - tendency to judge prob of two events occurring togeth as more likely than lieklihood of one of them happening (linda problem, tver + kahn 1983) |
| Causality heuristic | turpin et al 2020 - base rate neglect dep on whthr task encourages ppl to use stereotypical info |
| Availability heuristic | - judge events as more likely/frequently occurring the easier they can be retrieved from LTM - sampling events from direct exp, heavy media coverage, strong feelings twrd event - kahn + tvers 1973 = more likely start w k or k as third letter (70%) |
| Fast-and-frugal heuristics | - gigerenzer - heuristics adaptive, help overcome cog limits (bounded rash) - many cases > correct responses - adaptive toolbox = TTB, recognition heuristic |
| Take-the-best heuristic | - select best option, ignore others 3 comps 1.search rule: search cues in ord of validit 2. Stopping rule: stop when find cue distinctly discrim options 3. Decision rule: select option |
| Recognition heuristic | - best option btwn several = one you recognise, recognition status as basis to make judgement |
| Prospect theory | kahneman +tversky 1. ppl start at ref point b4 make decision 2. ppl more sens to losses than gains > loss aversion - framing effect, sunk cost effect |
| Framing effect | situational variables (wording of prob) can affect decision making, even if irrelevant (20% fat vs 80% fat free) |
| Sunk-cost effect | continue w course of action even tho suboptimal or unsuccessful because resources been invested |
| base rate | overall prob of event in a pop, eg someone selected at random is a n engineer |
| lawyer vs engineer | -30 engineers and 70 lawyers - give descrip of jack, no interest in politic, freetime on hobbies like home carpentry, sailing, maths puzzles - what is prob jack is one of 30 engineers out of 100 |
| linda problem | - linda = single, outspoken, majored in phil, concerned w issues of discrim + social justice, partip in anti nucler demon - which of two is more probable = linda is bank teller, linda is bank teller and is active in feminist mvmnt |
| conjunction fallacy explanation | original - results from increased perceived prov of one of conjuncts - judged prob contemp - depends on content of added conjunct and whether confirms one's hyp - confirmation - depends on content of decrip confirming hyp |
| turpin et al 2020 conditions (causality heurstic) | no instructions = make decision abt occ ppl hold causal environ = gov assigns occ by giving personality test non-causal environ = gov gives occ randomly |
| turpin et al 2020 results (causality heuristic) | - respond according to base rate in congruent trials (info congurent w base rate) - base rate info in favour of stereotype - incongruent = respond in line w base rate in non causal environ |
| recognition heuristic support | goldstein + gigerenzer 2002 - partips shown pairs of cities, decide which one bigger 90% = selected city recognised as larger and were right |
| recognition heuristic contradicting evidence | - less liekly used when more info avail (recognised city not likely chosen when known city = no int airport) - ID in intelligence predict when used - ppl cons why recognise, dont just stop and choose - search mechanism more nuanced than 3 rules sugge |
