“…Associative predictions have been tested successfully in many experiments with humans. Consistent with this theory, overestimations of contingency have been shown to be stronger when the outcome occurs frequently (Allan & Jenkins, 1983; Alloy & Abramson, 1979; Buehner, Cheng, & Clifford, 2003; Moreno-Fernández, Blanco, & Matute, 2017; Msetfi, Murphy, Simpson, & Kornbrot, 2005; Simões et al, 2019; Wasserman, Kao, Van Hamme, Katagiri, & Young, 1996). In addition, recent research has also shown that this result is also observed when the outcome is gradual rather than all-or-none (for instance, when we progressively recover from a headache; see Chow, Colagiuri, & Livesey, 2019).…”
