Confirmation, Disconfirmation, and Information in Hypothesis Testing
Joshua Klayman,Young Won Ha +1 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that the positive test strategy can be a very good heuristic for determining the truth or falsity of a hypothesis under realistic conditions, but it can also lead to systematic errors or inefficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overconfidence: It Depends on How, What, and Whom You Ask
TL;DR: Determining why some people, some domains, and some types of judgments are more prone to overconfidence will be important to understanding how confidence judgments are made.
Book ChapterDOI
Varieties of Confirmation Bias
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a rather heterogeneous collection of findings: a set of confirmation biases, rather than one unified confirmation bias, and discuss ideas about how to reconcile the apparent heterogeneity and the apparent generality of confirmation bias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overconfidence in interval estimates.
Jack B. Soll,Joshua Klayman +1 more
TL;DR: The authors show that overconfidence in interval estimates can result from variability in setting interval widths, and that subjective intervals are systematically too narrow given the accuracy of one's information-sometimes only 40% as large as necessary to be well calibrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skilled or Unskilled, but Still Unaware of It: How Perceptions of Difficulty Drive Miscalibration in Relative Comparisons
TL;DR: It is proposed that a noise-plus-bias model of judgment is sufficient to explain the relation between skill level and accuracy of judgments of relative standing, and that judges at all skill levels are subject to similar degrees of error.
