Assessing the "bias" in human randomness perception
Human randomness perception is commonly described as biased. This is because when generating random sequences humans tend to systematically underand over-represent certain sub-sequences relative to the number expected from an unbiased random process. In a purely theoretical analysis we have previously suggested that common misperceptions of randomness may actually reflect genuine aspects of the...
متن کاملRandomness Re-use in Broadcast Encryption
Broadcast encryption provides an efficient way to encrypt a message for a large number of receivers. This paper investigates whether it is possible to further improve efficiency of an existing state-of-the-art broadcast encryption scheme by re-using a subset of the random choices among different encryptions, without compromising the security of the original scheme. We introduce two schemes: the...
متن کاملConverging Evidence of Ubiquitous Male Bias in Human Sex Perception.
Visually judging the sex of another can be achieved easily in most social encounters. When the signals that inform such judgements are weak (e.g. outdoors at night), observers tend to expect the presence of males-an expectation that may facilitate survival-critical decisions under uncertainty. The present aim was to examine whether this male bias depends on expertise. To that end, Caucasian and...
متن کاملPerception and misperception of bias in human judgment.
Human judgment and decision making is distorted by an array of cognitive, perceptual and motivational biases. Recent evidence suggests that people tend to recognize (and even overestimate) the operation of bias in human judgment - except when that bias is their own. Aside from the general motive to self-enhance, two primary sources of this 'bias blind spot' have been identified. One involves pe...
متن کاملA re-examination of the effect of monetary reward and punishment on figure-ground perception.
In view of the increasing interest in the relationship between cognitive and conative processes (5), it is important at this time to make sure that the results of experiments reported are reliable in the sense of being duplicable. Recently, Carter and Schooler (2) repeated the now well-known experiment by Bruner and Goodman (i) in which rich and poor children judged the size of coins. Their res...
