1
Q

Reasoning psychology

A

Started 60 years ago. Say humans are not rational –> “people often fail to reason logically”.

Q

Base rate neglect

A

Overall there are more democrat than republican. Text about guy with a stereotypical information about republican. People choose republican but more change that it is democrat.

Q

Cognitive reflection test

A

A bat and a ball cost $1.10 together. The bat costs $1 more than the ball.
How much does the ball cost? 5 cent instead of 10 cent.

A

heuristic (system 1): intuitive and analytic (system 2): logic.

Q

Conflict from systems

A

Both systems cue different response and analytic system needs to override heuristics

Q

Defining vs correlating feature

A

Defining: Autonomy = System 1 is automatically activated when cues are present, and hence puts
no load on working memory
Correlating feauture: that it is fast

Q

3 types of models

A

traditional: serial and parallel
new:hybrid
Use different view how the two systems interact.

Q

Test core assumptions of traditional models

A

1) Bias blind spot assumption: you dont detect that you make a mistake.
2) Corrective assumption: reasoning requires deliberate correction (S2) of initial intuition (S1)

Q

Do biased reasoning detect conflict?

A

stereotype vs base rate when congruent people give correct answer. People who gave bias response they doubt them selves. People who ignore the baserate take longer to think. –> means there is conflict detection. Different methods (EEG) show that people detect they are biased. –> no bias blind spot.

Q

Evidence logical intuition

A

Impliciet: no verbalisation and justification why they doubt them selves (why they detect bias).
Automatic: Cognitive load does not affect detection.

Q

Corrective assumption assumption

A

system 2 corrects the bias reasoning of system 1 but not true. Because people dont do it significantly better with system 2 than 1.

Q

Two- response paradigm

A

“Give first answer that comes to mind as fast as possible. Next, you can take all the time you want to deliberate and give a final response”.

17
Q

How to knock out system 2?

A

Put pressure and deadline on the task. No time to think and use system 2.

18
Q

Partisanship motivated reasoning

A

Intuition –> partisan bias –> deliberation –> increased bias.

19
Q

Partisanship

A

How much you identify with the political party

20
Q

Accuracy motivated reasoning

A

Intuition –> partisan bias –> deliberation –> increased accuracy

21
Q

Why do we fall for fake news?

A

1) Partisanship-motivated reasoning: we convince ourselves that politicallyaligned information is true <- Deliberation is to rationalize our intuitions and biases
2) Accuracy-motivation: we open-mindedly try to figure out the truth –sometimes we are just lazy to engage in reasoning <- Deliberation is to figure out the correct solution

22
Q

Study political headlines

A

False new has a decrease in rating accuracy from initial to final response. So deliberation helps!

23
Q

Conspiracy theory princess diana

A

Official: Speeding and drunk driver caused the accident.
Conspiratorial: Prince Philip, the Royal Family and MI5 conspired to kill her.
Refutation: Isn’t it suspicious that it took the ambulance 30 minutes to get to the hospital (instead of the usual 5)?

24
Q

Outcome study princess diana

A

Deliberation helps but only a few people. Deliberation did not help who were apathetic toward
conspiracies in the first place. Possible to change prior beliefs first.

25
Q

How do we detect biases?

A

When something is hard then system 2 is activated, when easy the we use system 1. But with conflict detection than we get uncertainty and dont know which to activate.

26
Q

Are logical intuitions logical?

A

No not necessarily. Superficial cues can drive intuitive logic effects.

27
Q

Hybrid DPT

A

Intuitive activation –> uncertainty monitoring –> deliberation –> feedback –>

28
Q

Uncertainty monitoring

A

When having a conflict or a hard decision to make. It will start with system 1 but system 2 will be activated. When they are bot activated at the same time than uncertainty which system to use. Than there is a threshold of certainty where system 2 takes over and makes a decision. So the deliberation has a corrective role!
