Direct linkWilliams, Joseph J.; Griffiths, Thomas L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Errors in detecting randomness are often explained in terms of biases and misconceptions. We propose and provide evidence for an account that characterizes the contribution of the inherent statistical difficulty of the task. Our account is based on a Bayesian statistical analysis, focusing on the fact that a random process is a special case of…

Walker, Lawrence J.; Gustafson, Paul; Frimer, Jeremy A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2007
This article reviews the concepts and methods of Bayesian statistical analysis, which can offer innovative and powerful solutions to some challenging analytical problems that characterize developmental research. In this article, we demonstrate the utility of Bayesian analysis, explain its unique adeptness in some circumstances, address some…
