Pragmatically before ecologically valid tasks
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20 (4):778-779 (1997)
| Abstract | Most tasks used to demonstrate the base rate fallacy are ambiguous about the independence of the data. The removal of such ambiguities from the texts (by means of a clear reference class for the probabilities) is a necessary condition and has a considerable effect on the use of the base rate in classical probabilistic tasks. Some comments are offered on the frequentist phrasing of such and, more generally, their ecological validity. | |||||||||
