{ "pk": 27364, "title": "Familiarity-matching in decision making:\nExperimental studies on cognitive processes and analyses of its ecological rationality", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Previous studies have shown that individuals often make\ninferences based on heuristics using recognition, fluency, or\nfamiliarity. In the present study, we propose a new heuristic\ncalled familiarity-matching, which predicts that when a decision\nmaker is familiar (or unfamiliar) with an object in a question\nsentence, s/he will choose the more (or less) familiar object from\nthe two alternatives. We examined inference processes and\necological rationality regarding familiarity-matching through\nthree studies including behavioral experiments and ecological\nanalyses. Results showed that participants often used familiarity-\nmatching in solving difficult binary choice problems, and that\nfamiliarity-matching could be applied in an ecologically rational\nmanner in real-world situations. A new perspective on human\ncognitive processes is discussed in this study.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "binary choice task; heuristic; familiarity;\nfamiliarity-matching; ecological rationality" } ], "section": "Posters: Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0qf7041n", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Masaru", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Shirasuna", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "The University of Tokyo", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Hidehito", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Honda", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "The University of Tokyo", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Toshihiko", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Matsuka", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Chiba University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Kazuhiro", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Ueda", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "The University of Tokyo", "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/27364/galley/17000/download/" } ] }
