A note on the interpretation of perseveration in discrimination
Tóm tắt
The effect of one judgment upon the next judgment in a discrimination situation is considered to be the result of two types of perseveration. One arises from the judgment itself. The other results from a persistence, from one trial to the next, of a transient bias. It is shown that the resulting perseveration can then be a function of the difficulty of the first of the pair of choices. Expressions are derived from which the extent of each effect can be measured from observed proportions of responses.
