Changing One’s Mind when the Facts Change: Incentives of Experts and the Design of Reporting Protocols
Experts often collect and report information over time. What reporting protocol elicits the most information? Here, a principal receives reports sequentially from an agent with privately known ability, who observes two signals about the state of the world. The signals differ in initial quality and, unlike previous work, differ in quality improvement. The paper finds that “mind changes” (inconsi...
متن کاملIndisputable facts when implementing spiking neuron networks
“Spikes are the neural code”: this claim is about 15 years old (Shadlen & Newsome, 1994; Rieke, Warland, Steveninck, & Bialek, 1996), preceded by theoretical studies on the underlying mathematical processes (e.g., (Gerstein & Mandelbrot, 1964)), and followed by many developments regarding biological modelling or computational paradigms, or both (e.g., (Thorpe, Delorme, & VanRullen, 2001)).

متن کاملSubjective Beliefs And Confidence When Facts Are Forgotten
We run several experiments where people bet on propositions (facts) that they cannot recall with certainty. Forgetting is induced via interference tasks and time delays (up to one year). We use betting preferences to define subjects’ revealed beliefs and their confidence in these beliefs. Forgetting makes revealed beliefs less accurate and reduces the subjective confidence metric as well. Moreo...
متن کاملFacts, Events, and Inflection: When Language and Memory Dissociate

One patient (AW) suffers from a lexical retrieval deficit and failed to produce many irregularly inflected words such as spun, forgotten, and mice, but demonstrated intact production of regularly inflected words such as walked and rats. She also had preserved declarative memory ...
