Throwing out the baby with the bathwater? Let's not overstate the overselling of the base rate fallacy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
Koehler's summary and critique of research on the base rate fallacy is cogent and persuasive. However, he may have overstated the case, and his suggestions for future research may be too restrictive. We agree that methodological approaches to this topic should be broadened, but we argue that experimental laboratory research and the Bayesian normative standard are useful and should not be abandoned.
