The natural frequency facilitation effect describes the finding that people are better able to
solve descriptive Bayesian inference tasks when represented as joint frequencies obtained …

Humans have long been characterized as poor probabilistic reasoners when presented with
explicit numerical information. Bayesian word problems provide a well-known example of …

Decision support systems (DSS), which often process big data using models and output
results through multiple interfaces, increasingly pervade knowledge-intensive professions …

Two experiments examined whether different task ecologies influenced insight problem
solving. The 17 animals problem was employed, a pure insight problem. Its initial …

Abstract Models of creative problem solving are predicated upon mental states to explain
everything from the outcome of problem‐solving experiments to the emergence of artistic …

Research on insight problem solving sets itself a challenging goal: How to explain the origin
of a new idea. It compounds the difficulty of this challenge by traditionally seeking to explain …

Doing long sums in the absence of complementary actions or artefacts is a multistep
procedure that quickly taxes working memory; congesting the phonological loop further …

In the wild, thinking demonstrably uses interactive processes that draw on a wide range of
external resources, spanning multiple time scales. As Malafouris (2015, p. 361) puts …

Decisions are often made under uncertainty. The most that one can do is use prior
knowledge (eg, base rates, prior probabilities, etc.) and make the most probable choice …

Insight is commonly viewed as originating from the restructuring of a mental representation.
Distributed cognition frameworks such as the Systemic Thinking Model (SysTM, Vallée …
