Is Automation of Statistical Reasoning a Suitable Mindware in a Base-Rate Neglect Task?
Until recently, studies within the dual-process approach were mainly focused on group differences in processing, and individual differences were neglected.

Individual Differences in Base Rate Neglect: A Fuzzy Processing Preference Index. [PDF]
Little is known about individual differences in integrating numeric base-rates and qualitative text in making probability judgments. Fuzzy-Trace Theory predicts a preference for fuzzy processing. We conducted six studies to develop the FPPI, a reliable and valid instrument assessing individual differences in this fuzzy processing preference.

The role of base-rate neglect in cyberchondria and health anxiety
Cyberchondria is characterized by excessive health-related online search behavior associated with an unfounded escalation of concerns about common symptomatology. It often co-occurs with health anxiety. We investigated whether base-rate neglect-the cognitive bias to ignore a priori probabilities (e.g., of serious diseases)-plays a significant role in ...

Support for a Deliberative Failure Account of Base-Rate Neglect: Prompting Deliberation Increases Base-Rate Use [PDF]
People often base judgments on stereotypes, even when contradictory base-rate information is provided. It has been suggested this occurs because people fail to engage or complete deliberative reasoning needed to process numerical base-rate information, and instead rely on intuitive reasoning.

Cognitive biases and contextual factors explaining variability in nurses’ fall risk judgements: a multi-centre cross-sectional study [PDF]
Background: Assessing fall risk is a complex process requiring the integration of diverse information and cognitive strategies. Despite this complexity, few studies have explored how nurses make these judgements.

Debiasing System 1: Training favours logical over stereotypical intuiting [PDF]
Whereas people’s reasoning is often biased by intuitive stereotypical associations, recent debiasing studies suggest that performance can be boosted by short training interventions that stress the underlying problem logic.

Conflict detection and base-rate extremity
People tend to ignore the probabilistic rules cued by the base-rate information and rely on the heuristic intuition cued by the descriptive information to make “stereotypical” responses in base-rate problems.

Strange but true: Corroboration and base rate neglect. [PDF]
How do we deal with unlikely witness testimonies? Whether in legal or everyday reasoning, corroborative evidence is generally considered a strong marker of support for the reported hypothesis. However, questions remain regarding how the prior probability, or base rate, of that hypothesis interacts with corroboration.

Many studies have shown that using a computer-aided detection (CAD) system does not significantly improve diagnostic accuracy in radiology, possibly because radiologists fail to interpret the CAD results properly.
