Risk-taking, thinking styles, and criminality: A fuzzy-trace theory perspective
… and the hot/cold empathy gap, only fuzzy-trace theory offers concrete predictions concerning development that are consistent with known data (Kruglanski & Gigerenzer, 2011; Reyna & Casillas, 2009). For example, research has shown that adults display greater reasoning biases than …

Accounting expertise and decision-making through the lens of Fuzzy-Trace Theory (FTT)
Fuzzy Trace Theory (FTT) states that with experience in a domain, experts base their decisions on the meaning of the information (gist) rather than the verbatim details, reflecting the use of domain knowledge. FTT studies demonstrate that experts and novices construct different levels of memory …

Risk eDecisions: Online Behaviour and Decision Making from the iGeneration to the Silver Surfer
… and friending strangers, within the framework of Fuzzy Trace Theory. A further study investigated the posting of risky and inappropriate content online in British and Italian students, examining the role of self-monitoring and impulsivity. The work in this thesis reveals that Fuzzy Trace Theory is …

Is Hiring Fair and Accurate? Perceptions of Statistical and Practical Significance of Adverse Impact Indices
… and decision-making quality through the lens of fuzzy-trace theory (a dual-process theory of memory and decision-making, e.g., Reyna & Brainerd, 1995). Nevertheless, I still found some preliminary support for Hypotheses 1-3, suggesting that participants extracted the meaning of the measures, and …

Numeric Memory: Developing Representations
… still somewhat uncertain. With emphasis on the Fuzzy Trace Theory (FTT) and the representational change account of numerical cognition, the present study introduced a single number recall task in which 39 preschool-aged children were asked to remember a quantity between 0 and 20 following a …

Comparing the Cognitive Mechanisms of False Memories with the Misinformation and DRM Paradigms
… current cognitive theories of false memories: fuzzy-trace theory, spreading activation/monitoring theory, global matching models, and source of activation confusion (SAC) model. We found no LPC, FN400, or N2 neural differences between the two types of false memories. This result is discussed in …

Investigating the Effect of Attentional Control on Source Monitoring and DRM Memory Performance
<p>Theoretical frameworks such as Fuzzy Trace Theory (FTT), the Global-Matching Model (GMM), and Activation Monitoring Theory (AMT) have been proposed to explain the mechanisms underlying false memory formation in the DRM paradigm. Recent research has explored novel list types, such as mediated …

Making Information Count: Highlighting Discrepancies Between Risk Perception and Risk Communication in Combined Description/Experience Settings
… found early support for the hypothesis, based in Fuzzy Trace Theory, that the above finding occurs because experience strongly impacts gist risk perception – a coarse or “fuzzy” representation of the meaning of specific risk information – whereas descriptive information does not impact gist. The …

Absolute and Relative Judgments and the Relationship Between Eyewitness Accuracy and Confidence
… if a set of pristine testing conditions are met. Fuzzy-trace theory (FTT), a dual-process theory of cognition and memory, predicts that the distinction between pristine and non-pristine conditions results from differing reliance on verbatim versus gist traces, with verbatim traces used more in …

Risk-Taking Behaviour in people diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder
… misunderstood set of behaviours. In particular, Fuzzy Trace Theory (FTT) offers an interesting framework to understand risk-taking as a “rational/deliberate” act, rather than an impulsive one, providing evidence for a “reasoned route” to risk-taking. This piece of research comprised of a …

Memory Bias in the Use of Accounting Information: An Examination of Affective Responses and Retrieval of Information in Accounting Decision Making
This dissertation is based on the Kida-Smith (1995) model of "The encoding and retrievability of numerical data." It is concerned with the variable conditions under which a positive affective response (i.e., a decision or opinion that results in a positive valence) on previously viewed accounting …
