(New results!) Human inference behavior varies widely across individuals and tasks. Using the information bottleneck framework, we show that two distinct axes capture a substantial amount of individual variability across two classic inference tasks. Thread below 1/
An information-bottleneck theory of suboptimal human inference
Human inference is often suboptimal in ways that vary across individuals and tasks. We propose that this variability reflects information processing limits and develop a task-general application of th...
