No reduction in hindsight bias after complete information and repeated testing

Article Abstract:

Research employing a hypothetical and memory design fail to account for any reduction in hindsight bias. Even when participants were informed in advance, feedback sources manipulated or extremely wrong values assigned, hindsight bias emerged. Employing counterfactual reasoning strategies proved to be the sole feasible method for reducing hindsight bias. Participants were required to think about non-chosen alternatives or to generate their own outcomes. Hence, the reduction in hindsight could be attributed to more accurate discernment between estimates and solutions.

Fine grained analysis of visual data

Article Abstract:

The fine-grained visual analysis of graphs is a method that relies upon the scrutiny of the data path and an assessment of the stability of the data, patterns, sequences, or nature of data change paths which occur within and between experimental conditions over time. It is argued that many organizational behavior researchers do not analyze their graphs in this fine-grained manner. Consequently, they fail to grasp what their data are telling them about the independent, dependent, or, in some cases, confounding variables.

The impact of constructional impairment on the WMS-R visual reproduction subtests

Article Abstract:

Usage of the WMS-R Visual Reproduction subtest on a sample of 39 subjects aided in assessing deficient visual memory in subjects with constructional impairment. However, notwithstanding their mental states, all subjects performed equally in response to the WMS-R Logical Memory subtests, which ascertained verbal memory levels.
