    "abstract": "We describe a prediction method called “Attractivity\nWeighting” (AW). In the case of cue-based paired\ncomparison tasks, AW predicts a weighted average of the cue\nvalues of the most successful cues. In many situations, AW’s\nprediction is based on the cue value of the most successful\ncue, resulting in behavior similar to Take-the-Best (TTB).\nUnlike TTB, AW has a desirable characteristic called “access\noptimality”: Its long-run success is guaranteed to be at least as\ngreat as the most successful cue. While access optimality is a\ndesirable characteristic, concerns may be raised about the\nshort-term performance of AW. To evaluate such concerns,\nwe here present a study of AW’s short-term performance. The\nresults suggest that there is little reason to worry about the\nshort-run performance of AW. Our study also shows that, in\nrandom sequences of paired comparison tasks, the behavior of\nAW and TTB is nearly indiscernible.",
