Suppressing Natural Heuristics by Formal Instruction: The Case of the Conjunction Fallacy.
Agnoli, Franca; Krantz, David H.
Cognitive Psychology, v21 n4 p515-50 Oct 1989
Two experiments, with 300 adult women as subjects, studied the effects of laboratory training on the use of the Conjunction Rule, a principle of probability that is often violated. Learning alternative strategies enabled trained subjects to use extensional reasoning rather than intensional heuristics. (SLD)
