“…Their results support the notion that an on-line anchoring and adjustment strategy is used when subjects are required to make an item by item judgement and that stories are constructed when one overall global assessment is made. This idea was supported by experiments of Adelman et al [7] and Kerstholt and Jackson [8].…”

The results suggest that assessments of disability are largely based on the initial representation that is formed after reading the file. The main pitfall is that the final representation is based on general beliefs rather than on actual client information. For training and support this would mean that doctors should be made aware of the extent to which their assessment is anchored in the case at hand.

“…Adelman, Tolcott and Bresnick, 1993), we were also interested in the overall impact of the alibis following the presentation of all of the information. Therefore, a 2 (Age: Child, Adult) Â 2 (Relationship: Son, Neighbor) between subjects ANOVA was conducted on participants' post-alibi estimates of the probability that the suspect was the culprit.…”

Undergraduate participants who conducted a simulated police investigation were presented with either a child (6 years old) or adult (25 years old) alibi witness, who was either the son or neighbor of the participant's suspect. Replicating previous research, participants were more likely to believe the adult neighbor alibi witness than the adult son. In fact, an alibi provided by the adult son actually proved detrimental to that suspect, as participants thought the suspect was more likely to be guilty after viewing an alibi provided by the adult son. However, child-provided alibis reduced perceptions of suspect guilt, regardless of that child's relationship to the suspect. The child alibi witnesses were also viewed by the participants as more credible than the adult witnesses.

“…Hogart and Einhorn (1992) suggest that the recency effect is more important when messages are inconsistent. Numerous studies support this prediction (for a review see Hogarth and Einhorn 1992;Schlottmann andAnderson 1995 andmore recently Adelman andBresnick 1992;Adelman et al 1996;Adelman et al 1993;Tubbs et al 1993;Wang et al 2000). The recency effect appears to be quite a robust phenomenon.…”
