{"pk":32664,"title":"Mirroring the Inverse Base-Rate Effect: The Novel Symptom Phenomenon","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The elimination model is proposed as an account of the inverse base-rate effect (D. L. Medin & S. M. Edelson, 1988). A key-assumption is that participants sometimes rely on eliminative inference to decide among candidate categories. A new prediction is that there will be an inverse base-rate effect also for an entirely novel symptom presented in the transfer phase—a prediction that contrasts with that by ADIT (J. K. Kruschke, 1996). This was tested and confirmed in 2 experiments.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1852s6p3","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Peter","middle_name":"","last_name":"Juslin","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology, Uppsala University","department":""},{"first_name":"Pia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Wennerholm","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology, Uppsala University","department":""},{"first_name":"Anders","middle_name":"","last_name":"Winman","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology, Uppsala University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1999-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32664/galley/23727/download/"}]}
