Direct linkLem, Stephanie – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
In this paper two studies are reported in which two contrasting claims concerning the intuitiveness of the law of large numbers are investigated. While Sedlmeier and Gigerenzer ("J Behav Decis Mak" 10:33-51, 1997) claim that people have an intuition that conforms to the law of large numbers, but that they can only employ this intuition…

Vamvakoussi, Xenia; Van Dooren, Wim; Verschaffel, Lieven – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2012
A major source of errors in rational number tasks is the inappropriate application of natural number rules. We hypothesized that this is an instance of intuitive reasoning and thus can persist in adults, even when they respond correctly. This was tested by means of a reaction time method, relying on a dual process perspective that differentiates…
