Direct linkMarcusson-Clavertz, David; Cardeña, Etzel; Terhune, Devin Blair – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Mind wandering--mentation unrelated to one's current activity and surroundings--is a ubiquitous phenomenon, but seemingly competing ideas have been proposed regarding its relation to executive cognitive processes. The control-failure hypothesis postulates that executive processes prevent mind wandering, whereas the global availability hypothesis…

Herzog, Stefan M.; Hertwig, Ralph – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Individuals can partly recreate the "wisdom of crowds" within their own minds by combining nonredundant estimates they themselves have generated. Herzog and Hertwig (2009) showed that this accuracy gain could be boosted by urging people to actively think differently when generating a 2nd estimate ("dialectical bootstrapping").…

Anderson, Richard B.; Doherty, Michael E.; Friedrich, Jeff C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
In 4 studies, the authors examined the hypothesis that the structure of the informational environment makes small samples more informative than large ones for drawing inferences about population correlations. The specific purpose of the studies was to test predictions arising from the signal detection simulations of R. B. Anderson, M. E. Doherty,…
