Abstract: | The study examines two extensions to the no-cost sampling paradigm highlighting additional positive aspects of experience. It is explored whether the natural human capacity to encode past frequencies of events favours experience over description as a source of information in inference task. This notion is also extended to contexts of increasing complexity. In detail, decision makers' preference for information from experience as a function of task complexity, controlling for individual differences inrationality and numeracy, is studied. |
