In a new laboratory experiment on cued recall\, participants are shown two groups of images with different distributions of colors. We find that i) decreasing the frequency of a given color in one group significantly increases the recalled frequency of that color in the other group\, ii) for a fixed set of images\, different cues for the same objective distribution entail different interference patterns and different probabilistic assessments. Selective retrieval and interference may offer a foundation for the representativeness heuristic\, but more generally for understanding the formation of probability judgments from experienced statistical associations. \nView the rest of the CDS speaker series here \nTuesday\, February 25\, 4:15-5:30 PM\nUris 142\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up now!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Cognition and Decision Seminar Series is sponsored by the Program for Economic Research and the Center for Decision Sciences\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n
