Decision-Making and Behavioral Economics Memory Processes and Influences Child and Animal Learning Development

Abstract

Two groups of children aged 7 and 10 years made judgements of the relative frequency of names and human and animal cartoon characters in a list presented to them. Children in both age groups erroneously judged the category containing the more famous names to be more numerous, supporting the hypothesis that they were using the availability heuristic.
