{"pk":28801,"title":"Making the Implicit Explicit:Effects of Verbalization in Decisions from Experience","subtitle":null,"abstract":"What do people learn from experience with repeated decisions?Is it merely implicit behavioral tendencies? If so, wouldarticulating or summarizing what is learned change behavior?Online participants (N=126) experienced 100 trials of adecisions-from-experience problem with outcome feedback.Some participants then verbally summarized what they hadlearned and estimated the probability of the risky gain eitherfor themselves (Self condition) or for another hypotheticalplayer (Other condition); others did not summarize (Controlcondition). Finally, they faced 20 more decision trials.Verbalizing a social message to another person significantlyincreased sure choices (that is, decreased risk-taking) insubsequent decision making. In general, participantsunderestimated the probabilities of both certain and riskyprospects, and articulating a summary message (Self or Other)seemed to increase this conservatism.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"decisions from experience; explicit learning;verbalization; dual process theory"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2955h0k9","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Yaoli","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mao","name_suffix":"","institution":"Columbia University","department":""},{"first_name":"James","middle_name":"E.","last_name":"Corter","name_suffix":"","institution":"Columbia University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28801/galley/18672/download/"}]}
