  1. The Effect of Context and Individual Differences in Human‐Generated Randomness.Mikołaj Biesaga, Szymon Talaga & Andrzej Nowak - 2021 - Cognitive Science 45 (12):e13072.
    Many psychological studies have shown that human‐generated sequences are hardly ever random in the strict mathematical sense. However, what remains an open question is the degree to which this (in)ability varies between people and is affected by contextual factors. Herein, we investigated this problem. In two studies, we used a modern, robust measure of randomness based on algorithmic information theory to assess human‐generated series. In Study 1 (), in a factorial design with task description as a between‐subjects variable, we tested (...)

  • Bertrand's chord, Buffon's needle, and the concept of randomness.Raymond Nickerson - 2005 - Thinking and Reasoning 11 (1):67 – 96.
    Two old problems in probability theory involving the concept of randomness are considered. Data obtained with one of them--Bertrand's chord problem--demonstrate the equivocality of this term in the absence of a definition or explication of assumptions underlying its use. They also support two propositions about probabilistic thinking: (1) upon obtaining an answer to a question of probability, people tend to see it as the answer, overlooking tacit assumptions on which it may be based, and tend not to consider the possibility (...)
