New paper on information seeking in PNAS
Lion Schulz and Max Rollwage’s paper on relationships between dogmatism, confidence and information seeking is now out in PNAS! They find in two large online samples that being more dogmatic is characterised by a weaker link between confidence and information seeking in a simple perceptual decision-making task.
A Twitter thread explaining the findings is copied below, and a UCL press release is here. This was Lion’s Masters project in the lab, and he’s now a PhD student with Peter Dayan at the MPI for Biological Cybernetics.
Congratulations to Lion and Max!
