How to improve Bayesian reasoning without instruction: Frequency formats
- Psychological Review
, 1995
"... Is the mind, by design, predisposed against performing Bayesian inference? Previous research on base rate neglect suggests that the mind lacks the appropriate cognitive algorithms. However, any claim against the existence of an algorithm, Bayesian or otherwise, is impossible to evaluate unless one s ..."

specifies the information format in which it is designed to operate. The authors show that Bayesian algorithms are computationally simpler in frequency formats than in the probability formats used in previous research. Frequency formats correspond to the sequential way information is acquired in natural
Limits on super-resolution and how to break them
- IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
, 2002
"... AbstractÐNearly all super-resolution algorithms are based on the fundamental constraints that the super-resolution image should generate the low resolution input images when appropriately warped and down-sampled to model the image formation process. �These reconstruction constraints are normally com ..."

Imagining Low Probability Events: Contrasting Exemplar Cuing and Frequency Format Accounts
"... The extent to which a low probability event can be imagined appears to increase the weight attached to the possibility of that event occurring. Two experiments tested contrasting accounts of how this ‘imagability ’ of events is enhanced. The experiments used negative (e.g. suffering the side effect ..."

of a vaccine) and positive (e.g. winning a lottery) low probability events. Both experiments found strong support for the frequency format account, whereby imagability is enhanced through the use of frequency formats for conveying statistical information (e.g., 20 out of 2000). However, only limited
Frequency formats, probability formats, or problem structure? A test of the nested-sets hypothesis in an extensional reasoning task
"... Five experiments addressed a controversy in the probability judgment literature that centers on the efficacy of framing probabilities as frequencies. The natural frequency view predicts that frequency formats attenuate errors, while the nested-sets view predicts that highlighting the set-subset stru ..."

Symposium- New Directions in Judgment and Decision Making The Psychology of Good-Judgment: Frequency Formats and Simple Algorithms
"... Mind and environment evolve in tandem-almost a platitude. Much of judgment and decision making research, however, has compared cognition to standard statistical models, rather than to how well it is adapted to its environment. The author argues two points. First, cognitive algorithms are tuned to ce ..."

to certain information formats, most likely to those that humans have encountered during their evolutionary history. In particular, Bayesian computations are simpler when the information is in a frequency format than when it is in a probability format. The author investigates whether frequency formats can
Slipping into and out of Poverty: The Dynamics of Spells
- Journal of Human Resources
, 1986
"... This paper examines the dynamics of poverty. Previous analyses have examined either fluctuations in the male heads ' eamings or the frequency of poverty periods over a fixed time frame. Our approach depends on a definition of spells of poverty. Using this methodology we find that the majority o ..."

Time-Frequency Distributions—a Review

On narrow norms and vague heuristics: A reply to Kahneman and Tversky
- Psychological Review
, 1996
"... the heuristics-and-biases approach to statistical reasoning is and is not about. At issue is the imposition of unnecessarily narrow norms of sound reasoning that are used to diagnose so-called cognitive illusions and the continuing reliance on vague heuristics that explain everything and nothing. D. ..."

. Kahneman and A. Tversky (1996) incorrectly asserted that Gigerenzer simply claimed that frequency formats make all cognitive illusions disappear. In contrast, Gigerenzer has proposed and tested models that actually predict when frequency judgments are valid and when they are not. The issue is not whether
