Projects

Please post in Moodle about project ideas. Do some research and decide teams and rough outline of project by next Monday. Some sources of ideas: Your personal interests/experiences Things to improve campus Scan recent conferences (ACM CHI, UIST or CSCW) Talk to us Be realistic in scoping out the project skills, hardware, test subjects, time, …

As we may think

Written in 1945, after 50-60 years of tech. inventions (Electricity distribution, automobiles, airplanes, movies, TV, telephone, atomic bomb…) “[Man] has built a civilization so complex that he needs to mechanize his records more fully if he is to push his experiment to its logical conclusion and not merely become bogged down part way there by overtaxing his limited memory.”

Memex

“A memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.” What’s in the memex vision that’s not on the web today?

Memory in the Internet age

People forget items they think will be stored on a computer, and remember those they think will not available. Participants asked to enter trivia facts under 2 conditions: they were told it would be either saved or erased Mean recall in “erase” condition: 31% vs. “save” condition: 22%

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Memory in the Internet age

If people know where to find information, they are less likely to remember it Participants asked to enter trivia facts and shown one

  • f 3 messages: “erased”, “saved”, “saved in folder X”

Mean correct answer to true/false question: 93% (erased), 88% (saved), 85% (saved to a folder)

Stroop testing

Invented by J.R. Stroop in 1935 Uses interference as a way to study access A more accessible word will cause more interference Test interference by asking people to name the color a word is written in

Memory in the Internet age

“We are becoming symbiotic with our computer tools, growing into interconnected systems that remember less by knowing information than by knowing where the information can be found.”

The memory problem

CELL: Cognitive Evaluation with Life-Logs

  • Use digital life-logs to establish ground truth for

memory tests

  • Automatically generate questions from sent email
  • If successful, much more accurate and inexpensive

way of testing

CELL research issues

Do older people remember less? (How) does memory drop off over time? Are more frequently mentioned items better remembered? Are people names better remembered than other names? etc…

Cognitive biases

slide-32
SLIDE 32

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Cognitive biases

3 (major) types

  • Representativeness
  • Availability
  • Anchoring and adjustment

32

slide-33
SLIDE 33

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Representativeness

70% of people are engineers and 30% are lawyers. "Dick is a 30-year old man. He is married with no

  • children. A man of high ability and high motivation, he

promises to be quite successful in his field.” Judge: Is Dick a lawyer or an engineer? Leads to base-rate fallacy

33

slide-34
SLIDE 34

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Misconceptions of chance

A fair coin is tossed 6 times. Judge: Which one is more likely? T H T H H T H H H H H H

slide-35
SLIDE 35

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Effect of sample size

2 hospitals:

  • 15 children born per day
  • 45 children born per day

Babies are 50% boys, 50% girls (on avg.) Judge: Which hospital (if any) is more likely to have days where > 60% children born are boys?

35

slide-36
SLIDE 36

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Effect of sample size

Consider the difference between avg. word length of: (a) successive pages (b) successive lines Which varies more?

36

slide-37
SLIDE 37

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Regression to the mean

An extreme instance will likely be followed by an instance that is less so. For example, after a really bad performance, a better

  • ne is likely to follow, and after a really good

performance, a worse one is likely to follow.

37

slide-38
SLIDE 38

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Causal explanations

We bias towards causal explanations But in reality, cause may be due to regression to the mean, external, or not explicitly intended We bias towards estimating similar sizes of cause and effect Intuitive to bang on the elevator buttons to summon it faster A tennis star’s career simply peters out We overestimate the role of internal factors and underestimate the role of external factors

38

slide-39
SLIDE 39

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Oversensitivity to Consistency

Unwarranted generalizations from small sample sizes, e.g. The train is always late… Russians are generally….

39

slide-40
SLIDE 40

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Availability bias

In the dictionary, does ‘r’ appear more often as the first letter or the third letter? How many ways to pick 2 members out of 10 vs. 8 members out of 10?

40

slide-41
SLIDE 41

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Vividness criterion

Vivid cases outweigh a much larger body of statistical evidence “Man-who syndrome”, e.g. I know a man who had cancer… I know a man who ran the ultra-marathon… Leads to an over-estimate of the actual probability

slide-42
SLIDE 42

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Out of sight, out of mind

Corollary: People fail to correct for lack of information “The average person eats 3 pizzas a year” Immediacy effect: “This is the best movie I’ve ever watched.” “Yesterday was a historic moment!”

slide-43
SLIDE 43

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Anchoring and adjustment

Estimate 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 In studies, median judgement was 512 vs 2250 Adjustments are usually not enough

43

slide-44
SLIDE 44

CS102: Monsoon 2015

Anchoring and adjustment

Discredited evidence persists even after it is debunked e.g. “academic urban legend” of decimal point error about the iron content of spinach
