Lots of good ideas here. Trust in social information, and which social information you trust are super interesting questions that I would love to do more work on. It's possible that it's something along the lines you…
My hope would be as an explanatory tool.
Thanks! The model predicts that areas in which there is little evidence one way or the other available are the ones where incorrect beliefs could be sustained, particularly when the belief is held by those around you. I…
The predictions of the model I have thought about regarding this question are fairly intuitive. Exposure to evidence is important. Integrating networks is likely important, too, though I haven't done those simulations…
Great question. I'm kind of shooting in the dark on this one, but Bayesian inference does function as a probabilistic generalization of propositional logic, so in principle it seems like the framework should be able to…
Thanks! The collective intelligence task in this case is for the community on the site to identify who are the best traders to be mimicking. It's not an explicit group goal, but we are treating it as an implicit one. I…
I'm the first author of this paper if anyone has any questions!
