Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

4.4K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Interference and Decay01:16

Interference and Decay

523
Forgetting is a complex cognitive phenomenon influenced by several factors, among which interference and decay are particularly prominent. These processes explain why individuals often struggle to retrieve specific information from memory, leading to lapses in recall that can be observed in everyday situations.
Interference occurs when competing memories hinder the retrieval of particular information. It can be classified into two types: proactive and retroactive interference. Proactive...

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.8K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

7.6K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.9K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

First Impression01:09

First Impression

274
First impressions play a crucial role in social perception, shaping how individuals assess others in professional, academic, and interpersonal contexts. Psychological research highlights the significance of cognitive biases, such as the primacy and recency effects, which influence how people interpret and recall information.The Primacy Effect and Cognitive AnchoringThe primacy effect describes the tendency for initial information to impact judgment disproportionately. When individuals encounter...

Summary

Post-error slowing (PES) involves adaptive changes in decision-making processes, impacting reaction times and accuracy. These adaptations, including response threshold adjustments, help improve subsequent performance, though emotional stimuli can influence them.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Decision Science

Background:

  • Post-error slowing (PES) is a common phenomenon after errors in decision-making tasks.
  • Previous research on PES's role in performance accuracy remains inconclusive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the underlying cognitive mechanisms of PES using drift diffusion modeling.
  • To determine if PES contributes to improved performance accuracy in a visual search task.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized drift diffusion modeling on a large dataset (>5,800 participants) from a visual search experiment.
  • Analyzed reaction times and accuracy, focusing on post-error trial dynamics.
  • Incorporated emotional face stimuli to examine contextual influences.

Main Results:

  • Post-error trials showed adaptive increases in response threshold, sustained over trials.
  • Evidence accumulation rate initially decreased (indicating distraction) then increased post-error.
  • Higher decision thresholds and evidence accumulation post-error correlated with improved subsequent accuracy.
  • Emotional context (angry faces) modulated the evidence accumulation rate post-error.

Conclusions:

  • Error-related adaptations are multi-component and dynamic, extending over multiple trials.
  • PES involves both adaptive (threshold) and non-adaptive (attention/distraction) decision processes.
  • Decision threshold and evidence accumulation are key parameters for post-error adaptation and performance improvement.
