Effects of judgement on memory: experiments in recognition bias and process dissociation in a professional judgment task

Article Abstract:

Post-judgment memory bias in a professional undertaking in which the judge can be held accountable is examined in an experimental environment commonly experienced in financial service institutions such as auditing firms, investment banking, and law firms. The conditions of the experiment involve the documentation of evidence after judgment is made and the affirmation or objection of the decision by a reviewer. Results indicate that former judgments of dependents affect their capacities to distinguish evidence which may have important implications in how auditors record evidence.

Why are judgments less consistent in less predictable task situations?

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the reduced consistency of judgments in less predictable task situations. Results showed that subjects attempted to simulate noise and the pattern in the series when making forecasts. Subjects acted in such a manner either because they considered a clear pattern in a sequence of their judgments to be inconsistent with the randomness of data or because they attempted to represent data randomness in each judgment they made.

Normative and substantive expertise in multiple hypotheses evaluation

Article Abstract:

Two criteria are presented to study the judgments of trained professionals. The first criterion conforms with a theoretical model. The second conforms with known external criteria. Judgments different from a theoretical model are labeled errors. Judgments are labeled mistakes when they are different from external criteria.
