Cue utilization and cue consistency in multiple-cue probability learning

Subjects' utilization of the cues in a multiple-cue probability learning task was studied as a function of task predictability and cue consistency in two experiments. The results of both experiments indicated that cue consistency had an effect of cue weights, but this effect was less pronounced...

Summary:Subjects' utilization of the cues in a multiple-cue probability learning task was studied as a function of task predictability and cue consistency in two experiments. The results of both experiments indicated that cue consistency had an effect of cue weights, but this effect was less pronounced for tasks with high predictability than for tasks with low predictability. These results show that the linear model does not adequately describe the subjects' utilization of the cues in multiple-cue judgment tasks.
