{"pk":25719,"title":"Do Markov Violations and Failures of Explaining Away Persist with Experience?","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Making judgments by relying on beliefs about causal relations\nis a fundamental aspect of everyday cognition. Recent\nresearch has identified two ways that human reasoning seems\nto diverge from optimal standards; people appear to violate\nthe Markov Assumption, and do not to “explain away”\nadequately. However, these habits have rarely been tested in\nthe situation that presumably would promote accurate\nreasoning – after experiencing the multivariate distribution of\nthe variables through trial-by-trial learning, even though this\nis a standard paradigm. Two studies test whether these habits\npersist 1) despite adequate learning experience, 2) despite\nincentives, and 3) whether they also extend to situations with\ncontinuous variables","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"causal reasoning"},{"word":"Markov Assumption"},{"word":"Explaining Away"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/51b927w6","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Binjamin","middle_name":"Margolin","last_name":"Rottman","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""},{"first_name":"Reid","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hastie","name_suffix":"","institution":"The University of Chicago Booth School of Business","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25719/galley/15343/download/"}]}
