{"pk":27045,"title":"Low Dimensional Representations in Multi-Cue Judgment","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The study of multi-cue judgment investigates how decisionmakers integrate cues to predict the value of a criterionvariable. We consider a multi-cue judgment task in whichdecision makers have prior knowledge of inter-cuerelationships but are ignorant of how the cues correlate withthe criterion. In this setting, a naive judgment strategyprescribes an equal weight for each cue. However, we findthat many participants appear to use a weighting schemebased on a low-dimensional representation of the cue space.The use of such a representation is consistent with coreinsights in semantic memory research and has importantoptimality properties concerning judgment accuracy.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"judgment and decision making; cueintegration; improper linear models; dimensionalityreduction; semantic memory"}],"section":"Talks: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4p15r9jg","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Joyce","middle_name":"Wenjia","last_name":"Zhao","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pennsylvania","department":""},{"first_name":"Sudeep","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bhatia","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pennsylvania","department":""},{"first_name":"Clintin","middle_name":"P.","last_name":"Davis-Stober","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Missouri","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27045/galley/16681/download/"}]}
