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 کاملThe dud-alternative effect in likelihood judgment.
The judged likelihood of a focal outcome should generally decrease as the list of alternative possibilities increases. For example, the likelihood that a runner will win a race goes down when 2 new entries are added to the field. However, 6 experiments demonstrate that the presence of implausible alternatives (duds) often increases the judged likelihood of a focal outcome. This dud-alternative ...
متن کاملDecision Making without Likelihood Judgment 1 On Decision Making without Likelihood Judgment
Subjective expected utility, prospect theory and most other formal models of decision making under uncertainty are probabilistic: they assume that in making choices people judge the likelihood of relevant uncertainties. Clearly, in many situations people do indeed judge likelihood. However, we present experiments suggesting that there are also many situations in which people do not judge likeli...

متن کاملQuantum Probability Explanations for Probability Judgment ‘Errors’
A quantum probability model is introduced and used to explain human probability judgment errors including the conjunction, disjunction, inverse, and conditional fallacies, as well as unpacking effects and partitioning effects. Quantum probability theory is a general and coherent theory based on a set of (von Neumann) axioms which relax some of the constraints underlying classic (Kolmogorov) pro...
