Stereotypes and Belief Updating
Journal of the European Economic Association, 2023 Abstract We explore how feedback shapes, and perpetuates, gender gaps in self-assessments. Participants in our experiment take tests of their ability across different domains. We elicit their beliefs of their performance before and after feedback.

Electroencephalographic correlates of temporal Bayesian belief updating and surprise
NeuroImage, 2021 The brain predicts the timing of forthcoming events to optimize responses to them. Temporal predictions have been formalized in terms of the hazard function, which integrates prior beliefs on the likely timing of stimulus occurrence with information ...

Belief Update across Fission [PDF]
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2015 When an agent undergoes fission, how should the beliefs of the fission results relate to the pre-fission beliefs? This question is important for the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics, but it is of independent philosophical interest. Among other things, fission scenarios demonstrate that "self-locating" information can aect the probability of ...

Updating the Belief Promotion Operator [PDF]
Proceedings of the Thirtieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021 In this note, we introduce the local version of the operator for belief promotion proposed by Schwind et al. We propose a set of postulates and provide a representation theorem that characterizes the proposal. This family of operators is related to belief promotion in the same way that updating is related to revision, and we provide several results ...

Paranoia and belief updating during a crisis [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract The 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has made the world seem unpredictable. During such crises we can experience concerns that others might be against us, culminating perhaps in paranoid conspiracy theories. Here, we investigate paranoia and belief updating in an online sample (N=1,010) in the United States of America (U.S.A).

Self-Locating Belief and Updating on Learning [PDF]
, 2020 Self-locating beliefs cause a problem for conditionalization. Miriam Schoenfield offers a solution: that on learning E, agents should update on the fact that they learned E.
