Crises Learning Under Diagnosticity
We analyse ways in which diagnostic expectation in macro forecasting contaminates posterior inference and interferes with Bayesian parameter learning. Conversely, we study scenarios where parameter uncertainty dampens or magnifies extrapolation. We characterise two unique implications of such an …

The screening of new product concepts: information use and the effects of experience and expertise
… success and failure, their judgments of the diagnosticity (predictive usefulness) of different types of information, and information search were also investigated. Sixty-two respondents from the microcomputer software industry and the pharmaceutical industry were involved in the study. They …

Question-order effects in market research: An information processing approach
… discount attribute information which is low in diagnosticity, resulting in a backfire affect, but use attribute information which is high in diagnosticity, resulting in a carryover effect. This pattern of results can be explained using categorization theory. The findings suggest that brand …

Memory as discrimination: Strategic processing of retrieval cues
… to a process of memory retrieval where diagnosticity is central (Nairne, 2002). Under such a system, retrieval is most likely to be successful when a cue specifies a target in memory to the exclusion of other potential candidates. In the second chapter, this idea is tested via three …

Expert -Like Performance in Everyday Domains: The Effects of Thinking Styles and Problem Structure on Problem -Solving Performance
… (i.e., information format, information diagnosticity, and analogy distance) will be examined as ways in which information can be concretized, which in turn, lead to more well-structured problems.

Assessing the Effectiveness of an Interval Estimation and a Visual-Spatial Secondary Task as Measures of Mental Workload During Laparoscopy
… task possessed greater sensitivity and diagnosticity than the interval estimation task. However, interval estimation demonstrated a global sensitivity to workload changes. The findings suggest that a visual-spatial secondary task is an effective method to assess workload experienced …

Temporal Shifts in Weapon Focus: Comparing Retrograde and Anterograde Effects
… The weapon focus effect was found on diagnosticity ratios of lineup selections when objects were presented after the face such that the glass was more diagnostic of suspect guilt than the gun or the chicken. When objects were presented in tandem with the face, the glass was only more …

Influence Map Methodology For Evaluating Systemic Safety Issues
… improvements in comprehensiveness and diagnosticity over existing taxonomies. The influence map methodology was the result of a unique graphical and analytical combination of the dual role taxonomy and influence relationship models. Influence maps were developed for several safety …

Consequentiality, justification and auditors' decision processes: A theoretical framework and two experiments
… relied on the congruence heuristic to judge the diagnosticity of evidentiary questions (cf., Baron, Beattie and Hershey 1988). I discuss implications of the thesis for building a more complete theory of justification with an emphasis on how client-specific cues and audit task requirements can …

The Search for Construct Validity of Assessment Centers: Does the Ease of Evaluation of Dimensions Matter?
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of ease of evaluation of dimensions on the construct validity of a selection assessment center conducted in 1993. High ease of evaluation dimensions, operationalized as the greatest proportion of highly diagnostic behaviors, were …

Discrimination problems in context-dependent memory
… to a process of memory retrieval where diagnosticity is central (Nairne, 2002). Under such a view encoding-retrieval match cannot be relied upon to generate predictions. Under a diagnostic retrieval system, retrieval is most likely to be successful when a cue specifies a target in memory …
