Abstract:The fast-and-frugal heuristics approach to probabilistic inference assumes that individuals frequently employ simple heuristics to integrate cue information that commonly function in a non-reciprocal fashion. Specifically, the subjective validity of a certain cue remains solid during the application of a heuristic and is not changed by the presence or absence of another cue. The parallel-constraint-satisfaction model, in contrast, predicts that information is processed in a reciprocal fashion. Specifically, it assumes that subjective cue validities interactively affect each other and are modified to coherently support the favored choice. Corresponding to the model’s simulation, we predicted the direction of such coherence shifts. The results indicate that subjective cue validities are not fixed parameters, but that they are interactively changed to form coherent representations of the task.
