Absolute versus relative likelihood judgment
In this paper we investigate how people construct absolute and relative likelihood judgments. We document systematic violations of two fundamental probability axioms that can occur when evidence for an event H and its complement not-H are stronger than evidence for another event L and its complement not-L. First, H is judged “more likely” than L, while L is assigned a higher probability than H,...
متن کاملAbsolute identification by relative judgment.
In unidimensional absolute identification tasks, participants identify stimuli that vary along a single dimension. Performance is surprisingly poor compared with discrimination of the same stimuli. Existing models assume that identification is achieved using long-term representations of absolute magnitudes. The authors propose an alternative relative judgment model (RJM) in which the elemental ...
متن کاملPerceptions of absolute versus relative differences between personal and comparison health risk.
OBJECTIVE To explain inconsistent results in previous attempts to determine whether, when presented with health risk information, people focus primarily on information about their own risk status or on a comparison with others. DESIGN A randomized between-groups experiment in which participants were presented with hypothetical cardiac risk information. We examined whether affective responses ...
متن کاملRELATIVE INFORMATION FUNCTIONAL OF RELATIVE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
In this paper by use of mathematical modeling of an observer [14,15] the notion of relative information functional for relative dynamical systemson compact metric spaces is presented. We extract the information function ofan ergodic dynamical system (X,T) from the relative information of T fromthe view point of observer χX, where X denotes the base space of the system.We also generalize the in...
متن کاملAbsolute and relative pitch: Global versus local processing of chords
Absolute pitch (AP) is the ability to identify or produce notes without any reference note. An ongoing debate exists regarding the benefits or disadvantages of AP in processing music. One of the main issues in this context is whether the categorical perception of pitch in AP possessors may interfere in processing tasks requiring relative pitch (RP). Previous studies, focusing mainly on melodic ...
