Why the analyses of cognitive processes matter
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (5):679-680 (2000)
| Abstract | Stanovich & West analyze individual differences with respect to response output (e.g., participants' numerical estimates). They do not analyze the underlying cognitive processes that led to the outputs; they thereby probably misclassify some non-normative responses as normative. Using base rate neglect and overconfidence as examples, I demonstrate the advantages of analyzing cognitive processes further. | |||||||||
