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...

Real-World Application of Classical Conditioning

686
Classical conditioning not only includes the initial pairing of stimuli but also extends to more complex forms, such as higher-order conditioning. Higher-order conditioning involves creating associations beyond the primary conditioned stimulus, resulting in a chain of conditioned responses.
Higher-order, or second-order, conditioning occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an already established conditioned stimulus through repeated pairings. For instance, if a dog has been...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Experimental Psychology

Background:

  • Proportion congruency effects (PCE) and context-specific PC (CSPC) effects are key findings in conflict paradigms.
  • Existing research often attributes these effects to stimulus-unspecific conflict-induced selectivity adjustments, but temporal learning remains a confounding factor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally dissociate selectivity adjustments from temporal learning as explanations for cognitive conflict effects.
  • To introduce a novel approach combining abstract experimental conditions and theoretical assumptions to differentiate these mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel experimental approach integrating abstract conditions and theoretical assumptions.
  • Utilizing two computational models to predict distinct outcomes for selectivity adjustments and temporal learning.
  • Designing experiments to test predictions for a hybrid effect termed context-dependent PCE (CDPCE).

Main Results:

  • The proposed approach allows for the prediction of opposite modulations of CDPCE by selectivity adjustments and temporal learning.
  • Experimental designs implementing the abstract conditions can differentiate between these two mechanisms.
  • The study demonstrates the potential to rule out temporal learning as the sole cause of stimulus-unspecific PC adaptations.

Conclusions:

  • The novel approach provides a pathway to unequivocally attribute cognitive conflict effects, at least partially, to selectivity adjustments.
  • The findings advance the understanding of stimulus-unspecific adaptations in proportion congruency.
  • The study highlights both the promise and potential challenges of the presented methodology.
