Pictorial representations in statistical reasoning
@article{Brase2009PictorialRI, title={Pictorial representations in statistical reasoning}, author={G. Brase}, journal={Applied Cognitive Psychology}, year={2009}, volume={23}, pages={369-381} }
SUMMARY In an ongoing debate between two visions of statistical reasoning competency, ecological rationality proponents claim that pictorial representations help tap into the frequency coding mechanisms of the mind, whereas nested sets proponents argue that pictorial representations simply help one to appreciate general subset relationships. Advancing this knowledge into applied areas is hampered by this present disagreement. A series of experiments used Bayesian reasoning problems with… Expand
