Wisdom of crowds detects COVID-19 severity ahead of officially available data [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 During the unfolding of a crisis, it is crucial to forecast its severity at an early stage , yet access to reliable data is often challenging early on. The wisdom of crowds has been effective at forecasting in similar scenarios.

On the round number bias and wisdom of crowds in different response formats for numerical estimation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 When asked for numerical estimations, people can respond by stating their estimates (e.g., writing down a number) or indicating a number on a scale. Although these methods are logically the same, such differences may affect the responses to the numerical

“They don’t Know Better than I do”: People Prefer Seeing for Themselves Over Using the Wisdom of Crowds in Perceptual Decision Making [PDF]
Journal of Cognition, 2021 Establishing the way people decide to use or avoid information when making a decision is of great theoretical and applied interest. In particular, the “big data revolution” enables decision-makers to harness the wisdom of crowds (WoC) toward reaching ...

Wisdom of crowds and collective decision-making in a survival situation with complex information integration [PDF]
Cognitive Research, 2020 Background The wisdom of crowds and collective decision-making are important tools for integrating information between individuals, which can exceed the capacity of individual judgments. They are based on different forms of information integration.

How the wisdom of crowds, and of the crowd within, are affected by expertise [PDF]
Cognitive Research, 2021 We investigated the effect of expertise on the wisdom of crowds. Participants completed 60 trials of a numerical estimation task, during which they saw 50–100 asterisks and were asked to estimate how many stars they had just seen.
