On the generality and cognitive basis of base-rate neglect [PDF]
Cognition, 2021 ABSTRACT Base rate neglect refers to people’s apparent tendency to underweight or even ignore base rate information when estimating posterior probabilities for events, such as the probability that a person with a positive cancer-test outcome actually does have cancer.

BASE RATE NEGLECT FOR THE WEALTH OF INTERACTING PEOPLE [PDF]
Advances in Complex Systems, 2010 Previous research investigating base rate neglect as a bias in human information processing has focused on isolated individuals. This study complements this research by showing that in settings of interacting individuals, especially in settings of social learning, where individuals can learn from one another, base rate neglect can increase a population'

Base rate neglect in computer science education
CoRR, 2022 Machine learning (ML) algorithms are gaining increased importance in many academic and industrial applications, and such algorithms are, accordingly, becoming common components in computer science curricula. Learning ML is challenging not only due to its complex mathematical and algorithmic aspects, but also due to a) the complexity of using correctly ...

Base-Rate Neglect and Imperfect Information Acquisition [PDF]
, 2005 Base-rate neglect is a robust experimental finding that individuals do not update their prior beliefs according to the Bayes' rule and, typically, underestimate their posterior probabilities. Another empirical finding is that individuals often do not acquire information even when there are no strategic considerations and the cost of new information is ...

Base-rate neglect in ALCOVE: A critical reevaluation.
Psychological Review, 1995 A recent hybrid model of categorization (Attention Learning Covering Map [ALCOVE]; J. K. Kruschke, 1992) has combined the most desirable properties of exemplar models with a connectionist architecture and learning rule. A critically important property of ALCOVE is its apparent ability to account for base-rate neglect, a phenomenon beyond the purview of

The Surprising Benefits of Base Rate Neglect in Robust Aggregation [PDF]
Proceedings of the 25th ACM Conference on Economics and ComputationRobust aggregation integrates predictions from multiple experts without knowledge of the experts' information structures. Prior work assumes experts are Bayesian, providing predictions as perfect posteriors based on their signals. However, real-world experts often deviate systematically from Bayesian reasoning.

Base Rate Neglect in Linguistic Category Learning. [PDF]
This paper presents a categorization experiment supporting the hypothesis that base-rate-neglect occurs in linguistic category learning (and, thus, is a cross-domain phenomenon), and that it is more likely for those learners who engage in explicit problem-solving, rather than implicit learning.

Strange but true: Corroboration and base rate neglect. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021 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.

The environmental malleability of base-rate neglect [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2020 Across two experiments (N=799) we demonstrate that people's use of quantitative information (e.g., base-rates) when making a judgment varies as the causal link of qualitative information (e.g., stereotypes) changes. That is, when a clear causal link for stereotypes is provided, people make judgments that are far more in line with them.

Lucky numbers : spatial neglect affects physical, but not representational, choices in a Lotto task. [PDF]
, 2010 Spatial neglect can be characterized by a “magnetic attraction” towards the right side of a visual stimulus array and a selection of stimuli from that hemispace.
