Publications
Reducing bias in frequency judgment by improving source monitoringMichael R P Dougherty
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA
Acta Psychol (Amst) 113:23-44. 2003....
Motivated to retrieve: how often are you willing to go back to the well when the well is dry?Michael R Dougherty
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20740, USA
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 33:1108-17. 2007..A strong negative correlation was found between individual differences in motivation and participants' exit latencies. This negative correlation was present only when the retrieval task started out as relatively difficult...
Psychological plausibility of the theory of probabilistic mental models and the fast and frugal heuristicsMichael R Dougherty
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park 20742, USA
Psychol Rev 115:199-213. 2008..The authors argue that many of PMM theory's assumptions are questionable, given available data, and that fast and frugal heuristics are, in fact, psychologically implausible...
Integration of the ecological and error models of overconfidence using a multiple-trace memory modelM R Dougherty
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park 20742 4411, USA
J Exp Psychol Gen 130:579-99. 2001..Three experiments confirmed these predictions. Implications of MDM's account of overconfidence are discussed...
Hypothesis generation, probability judgment, and individual differences in working memory capacityMichael R P Dougherty
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA
Acta Psychol (Amst) 113:263-82. 2003..Fifth, the degree to which participants were subadditive was negatively correlated with WM-capacity. The results suggest that individual differences in WM-capacity are fundamental to hypothesis generation and probability judgment...
Probability judgment and subadditivity: the role of working memory capacity and constraining retrievalMichael R P Dougherty
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20782, USA
Mem Cognit 31:968-82. 2003..Time constraints are assumed to truncate the alternative generation process, leading to fewer alternatives being recalled from long-term memory...
Using the past to predict the futureMichael R Dougherty
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park 20742, USA
Mem Cognit 33:1096-115. 2005..Finally, eventual recall performance was facilitated when participants made JOLs but not when they made RCJs, suggesting that the JOL task helps to improve people's learning of the items...
The influence of improper sets of information on judgment: how irrelevant information can bias judged probabilityMichael R Dougherty
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 4411, USA
J Exp Psychol Gen 135:262-81. 2006..In addition, the authors show that 2 commonly used measures of judgment accuracy, absolute and relative accuracy, can be dissociated. The results have broad implications for theories of judgment...
The effect of divided attention on global judgment of learning accuracyKelly Anne Barnes
Department of Psychology, Georgetown University, Washington, DC 20057, USA
Am J Psychol 120:347-59. 2007..These findings suggest that people rely on extrinsic cues when making repeated, global metamemoryjudgments...
Generating and evaluating options for decision making: the impact of sequentially presented evidenceAmber Sprenger
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20472, USA
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 38:550-75. 2012....
Robust decision making in a nonlinear worldMichael R Dougherty
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA
Psychol Rev 119:321-44. 2012....
On the lawfulness of the decision to terminate memory searchJ Isaiah Harbison
Department of Psychology, Center for Advanced Study of Language, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA
Cognition 111:416-21. 2009..These findings were compared to the predictions of previously proposed stopping rules, using the Search of Associative Memory framework. Of the four rules examined, only one predicts the obtained data pattern...
Diagnostic hypothesis generation and human judgmentRick P Thomas
Department of Psychology, University of Oklahoma, Norman 73019, USA
Psychol Rev 115:155-85. 2008....
Implications of cognitive load for hypothesis generation and probability judgmentAmber M Sprenger
Decision Attention and Memory Lab, Department of Psychology, University of Maryland College Park, MD, USA
Front Psychol 2:129. 2011..The effect of divided attention during encoding on judgment was completely mediated by the number of hypotheses participants generated, indicating that limitations in both encoding and recall can cascade into biases in judgments...
Word concreteness and encoding effects on context-dependent discriminationAna M Franco-Watkins
University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA
Mem Cognit 34:973-85. 2006..The results indicated that context-dependent discrimination is not dependent solely on the use of interactive imagery instructions or on word concreteness...
