Lloyd, Kevin; Sanborn, Adam; Leslie, David; Lewandowsky, Stephan – Cognitive Science, 2019
Algorithms for approximate Bayesian inference, such as those based on sampling (i.e., Monte Carlo methods), provide a natural source of models of how people may deal with uncertainty with limited cognitive resources. Here, we consider the idea that individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) may be usefully modeled in terms of the…

Craig, Stewart; Lewandowsky, Stephan; Little, Daniel R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
The assumption in some current theories of probabilistic categorization is that people gradually attenuate their learning in response to unavoidable error. However, existing evidence for this error discounting is sparse and open to alternative interpretations. We report 2 probabilistic-categorization experiments in which we investigated error…
