Nick Byrd, Ph.D.Another paper finds that overcoming <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/bias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bias</a> in a logic test had less to do with speed than strategy. Performance on a logical test of bias was impacted by a time limit for “Counterexample” reasoners but not “Statistical” reasoners (N > 300).<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/20445911.2024.2313566" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1080/20445911.2024.2313566</a>I wish the author had measured and controlled for test familiarity.
