The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.4K
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...

Attribution Theory

13.3K
Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Perceptual Constancy01:12

Perceptual Constancy

510
Perceptual constancy is the ability to recognize that objects remain consistent and unchanged even when their appearance varies due to changes in sensory input. There are four main types of perceptual constancy: size constancy, shape constancy, color constancy, and brightness constancy.
Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...

The Representativeness Heuristic02:13

The Representativeness Heuristic

16.1K
The representative heuristic describes a biased way of thinking, in which you unintentionally stereotype someone or something. For example, you may assume that your professors spend their free time reading books and engaging in intellectual conversation, because the idea of them spending their time playing volleyball or visiting an amusement park does not fit in with your stereotypes of professors.

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction01:24

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction

761
Generalization, discrimination, and extinction are key concepts in operant conditioning that influence how behaviors are learned and maintained.
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...

Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Value-based learning shapes attentional biases.
  • Understanding cross-modal attention is crucial for cognitive adaptation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if auditory value-based learning influences visual attention.
  • To determine the semantic generalization of value-driven attention.

Main Methods:

  • Modified dichotic listening task to associate auditory words with monetary rewards.
  • Stroop task in the test phase using rewarded auditory words and their semantic associates.
  • Assessing visual attention shifts based on learned auditory reward associations.

Main Results:

  • Evidence of semantic generalization of value-driven attention from auditory to visual domains.
  • Auditory reward associations significantly modulated visual attention.
  • Learned value biases are not restricted to the initial sensory modality.

Conclusions:

  • Value-based attentional biases can transfer across sensory modalities (auditory to visual).
  • Findings offer insights into cognitive adaptation mechanisms.
  • Potential implications for understanding maladaptive behaviors, such as addiction.
