    "title": "The Roles of Knowledge and Memory in Generating Top-10 Lists",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "We consider the role that memory and knowledge play in the\naccuracy of people’s generation of top-10 lists. We report data\nfrom an experiment in which people answered questions like\n“list the top 10 most watched TV shows in the US”, with and\nwithout the help of a memory aid that provided the true top\n50 items. Our analyses examine the changes in accuracy resulting\nfrom the availability of the memory aid, the patterns\nwith which people modify their lists when the aid is provided,\nand the stability of individual differences in the memory and\ndecision-making processes involved. We find clear evidence\nthat, for those involving large number of potentially relevant\nitems, memory retrieval plays a central role in determining the\naccuracy of the list. We discuss implications of these findings\nfor the development of models for aggregating rank orders produced\nby people when not given the relevant items.",
