q2 i? The conflict detection index rose from pre- to post-intervention on bat-and-ball and base-rate tasks in the training group, but not in control, and showed the opposite trend for conjunction fallacy problems. → Nina Franiatte 2024

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Exploratory confidence-based conflict detection analysis (De Neys et al., 2011 index) on initial responses, reported as trends: base-rate index rose +4.6 points (Session 1) and +7.4 points (Session 2), whereas the conjunction fallacy task showed a trend toward the opposite effect (-4.7 points in Session 1, -0.4 in Session 2).

"we found a small trend towards a better conflict detection after training on bat-and-ball (from pre- to post-intervention, the index rose by 10.5 points in Session 1 and 1.2 points in Session 2)"
