Missing information in multiple-cue probability learning.
In a multiple-cue probability learning task, participants learned to use six discrete symptoms (i.e., cues) to diagnose which of three possible flu strains a hypothetical patient suffered from. For some patients, information regarding the status of certain symptoms was not available. Various possible ways in which the missing cue information might be processed were distinguished and tested in a...
متن کاملChoice strategies in multiple-cue probability learning.
Choice strategies for selecting among outcomes in multiple-cue probability learning were investigated using a simulated medical diagnosis task. Expected choice probabilities (the proportion of times each outcome was selected given each cue pattern) under alternative choice strategies were constructed from corresponding observed judged probabilities (of each outcome given each cue pattern) and c...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of feedback in multiple-cue probability learning.
How effective are different types of feedback in helping us to learn multiple contingencies? This article attempts to resolve a paradox whereby, in comparison to simple outcome feedback, additional feedback either fails to enhance or is actually detrimental to performance in nonmetric multiple-cue probability learning (MCPL), while in contrast the majority of studies of metric MCPL reveal impro...
متن کاملExternal validity of individual differences in multiple cue probability learning: The case of pilot training
Individuals differ in their ability to deal with unpredictable environments. Could impaired performances on learning an unpredictable cue-criteria relationship in a laboratory task be associated with impaired learning of complex skills in a natural setting? We focused on a multiple-cue probability learning (MCPL) laboratory task and on the natural setting of pilot training. We used data from th...
متن کاملLearning in Multiple-cue Judgment Tasks
In our daily lives we often make quantitative judgments based on multiple pieces of information such as evaluating a student’s paper based on form and content. Psychological research suggests that humans rely on several strategies to make multiple-cue judgments. The strategy that is used depends on the structure of the task. In contrast, recent research on learning in judgment tasks suggests th...
