We demonstrate across four experiments that the bias arises from greater processing fluency experienced in processing the whole...

While noise is a phenomenon present in many real-world optimization problems, the understanding of its potential e ects on the performance of evolutionary algorithms is still incomplete. This paper investigates the e ects of noise for the in nite-dimensional quadratic sphere and a (1+1)-ES with isotropic normal mutations. It is shown that overvaluation as a result of failure to reevaluate paren...
