Abstract:
|
Hindsight bias is the tendency to overestimate one’s prior knowledge of a fact or event after learning the actual fact. Recent
research has suggested that age-related differences in hindsight
bias may be based on age-related differences in inhibitory control. We tested whether this explanation held for 3 cognitive
processes assumed to underlie hindsight bias: recollection bias,
reconstruction bias, and the tendency to adopt newly acquired
knowledge as old. We performed a typical hindsight-bias study
with 9-year-olds, 12-year-olds, young adults, and older adults.
Participants first gave numerical judgments to difficult almanac
questions. They later received the correct judgments for some of
the questions while trying to recall their own earlier judgments.
To experimentally test the impact of inhibitory control, the correct judgment was presented either in a weak or in a strong
manner that was difficult to ignore. Hindsight bias was larger in
the strong condition than in the weak condition and followed a
U-shaped life-span pattern with young adults showing the least
hindsight bias in line with an inhibitory-control explanation. Yet,
the mixture of underlying processes differed considerably
between age groups, so inhibitory control did not suffice as a
sole explanation of age differences.
