“…Likewise, we can assess PBrelated behavior with cognitive measures that have previously been associated with enhanced PBs. Examples of such measures include (1) tasks that show a tendency to easily associate things or events (Bressan, 2002;Rogers, Fisk, & Wiltshire, 2011;Rogers, Qualter, & Wood, 2016), (2) the propensity to see meaningful patterns in random noise (Blackmore & Moore, 1994;Brugger et al, 1993;Riekki, Lindeman, Aleneff, Halme, & Nuortimo, 2013), (3) attenuated reasoning abilities (Denovan, Dagnall, Drinkwater, & Parker, 2018;Lawrence & Peters, 2004;Lindeman & Svedholm-Häkkinen, 2016), and (4) repetition avoidance (Brugger, Landis, & Regard, 1990). Brugger et al (1990) assessed repetition avoidance by asking participants to repeatedly imagine throwing a dice and to report the number they imagined on top of the dice (mental dice task).…”
