Trend judgment as a perceptual building block of graphicacy and mathematics, across age, education, and culture
Data plots are widely used in science, journalism and politics, since they efficiently allow to
depict a large amount of information. Graphicacy, the ability to understand graphs, has thus …

Teaching simple heuristics can reduce the exponential growth bias in judging historic CO2 emission growth
Across the last 150 years, global CO2 emissions have grown at an increasing, exponential
pace. Based on the well‐documented tendency to underestimate such exponential growth …

People accurately predict the shape of skill learning curves
X Zhang, SD McDougle, JA Leonard - Available at SSRN 4903336, 2024 - papers.ssrn.com
Decades of research have shown that skill learning often unfolds exponentially—people
improve rapidly early on, and then performance gradually levels off. Given how important …
