Two experiments investigated 240 undergraduates' competence at judging event covariations under conditions approximating the memory demands found in everyday judgment settings. Ss were presented with sequences of individual event/state combinations and were asked either to record the event frequencies as they were presented (Exp I), to estimate the frequency information from memory (Exps I and II), or to estimate frequencies of event combinations and distractor cues from memory (Exp II). Comparisons of covariation judgment in these conditions showed that judgment accuracy deteriorated as memory demands increased. Further analyses suggested that the memory effect was due to poor recall of the frequency of event/state combinations and to a tendency to shift to simpler but less accurate judgment strategies. It is concluded that identification of event relationships in everyday settings is likely to be an error-ridden process.(28 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
