Ragav Kumar and Daniel M. Bernstein Hindsight Bias and Priming:Two Designs, Two Results
Kite Think about what percentage of people would be able to correctly identify the distorted word, assuming they had not seen the clear version first. Think about what percentage of people would be able to correctly identify the distorted word.
Inability to take naïve perspective from before you received information Hindsight Bias
Exposure to a stimulus affects response to a later stimulus Priming Just listen, for now. Think about what percentage of people would be able to correctly identify the distorted word.
Hindsight Bias stimulus might just be a prime Difference in instructions Overlap
Experiment 1: Between Subjects Experiment 2: Within Subjects Experiments
Study Phase • Priming: 0, 1, 3, 6 times • Test Phase • Ignorant Identification • Ignorant Estimation • Hindsight Estimation – Flashcards Method: Experiments 1
Ignorant estimates would increase as number of primes increased Hindsight estimates would not increase with the number of primes Hypotheses
Experiment 1: Between Subjects Hindsight Estimation Ignorant Identification Ignorant Estimation
Ignorant estimates would increase as number of primes increased Hindsight estimates would not increase with the number of primes Hypotheses - Revisited
Within Subjects replication of Experiment 1 Allows direct examination of Hindsight Bias and Priming Experiment 2: Within Subjects
Priming: 0, 1, 3, 6 times • Test (Counter-balanced) • Ignorant Estimation • Hindsight Estimation – Flashcards Method: Experiment 2
Greater estimates overall in hindsight condition Interaction between Hindsight Bias and priming Hypotheses
No Interaction?! Experiment 2 Results (N=42)
Greater estimates in hindsight condition Interaction between hindsight bias and priming Hypotheses - Revisited
Hindsight Bias is the same thing as Priming? • Conflicting results • Study Design seems to be a factor Conclusions
Why is there a difference between designs? • Methodological Issues • Follow-up: Improved Re-run Limitations and Follow-ups
Ease of processing information • Perceptual • Conceptual Fluency
