Observers cannot accurately estimate the speed of an approaching object in flight
Objects approaching at the same speed, on the same trajectory, but at different distances from an observer, have different angular speeds at the eye. To recognize that the objects' approach speed is the same despite the differences in retinal motion, the observer must "factor out" the distance of each object. We examine whether observers can do so in three relative speed judgement experiments. ...
متن کاملAn index of loss aversion
To a considerable extent, risk aversion as it is commonly observed is caused by loss aversion. Several indexes of loss aversion have been proposed in the literature. The one proposed in this paper leads to a clear decomposition of risk attitude into three distinct components: basic utility, probability weighting, and loss aversion. The index is independent of the unit of payment. The main theor...
متن کاملLoss aversion is an affective forecasting error.
Loss aversion occurs because people expect losses to have greater hedonic impact than gains of equal magnitude. In two studies, people predicted that losses in a gambling task would have greater hedonic impact than would gains of equal magnitude, but when people actually gambled, losses did not have as much of an emotional impact as they predicted. People overestimated the hedonic impact of los...
متن کاملUsing an implicit memory task to estimate premorbid memory.
Clinicians are often asked to determine if significant memory loss has occurred. Clinical judgment figures prominently in making these determinations, because there is no accepted, objective method for estimating premorbid memory. Two studies were designed to explore the utility of an implicit memory task, Anagrams Solutions, for estimating premorbid memory ability. A secondary goal was to iden...
متن کاملAn Estimate of Risk Aversion in the U.S. Electorate
Recent work in political science has taken up the question of issue voting under conditions of uncertainty—situations in which voters have imperfect information about the policy positions of candidates. We move beyond the assumption of a particular spatial utility function and develop of a model to estimate voters’ preferences for risk. Contrary to the maintained hypothesis in the literature, v...
