Abstract:
We are surrounded by
enormous quantities of information which, objectively speaking, has relevance
for our performance. Indeed, environments generate much more information than we
can possibly use when making decisions and our expectations about environments
are inevitably characterized by imperfection. Nevertheless, despite these
facts, we undeniably function and achieve. In this Young DIAS Scholar lecture,
Ulrik W. Nash will introduce you to a branch of psychology that explains how
such function and achievement is nevertheless possible. Drawing on his own
research, Ulrik will demonstrate the relevance of this branch of psychology for
understanding individual and collective adaptation.

The Curious Anomaly of Skewed Judgment Distributions and Systematic Error in the Wisdom of Crowds
To the general public who read Surowiecki’s (2004) bestseller, it almost seemed like magic. To neoclassic economists, the wisdom of crowds was real enough (Muth, 1961, Lucas, 1978). In this paper, published in the Public Library of Science (PLoS ONE), Assistant Professor Nash predicts and reports systematic error in our collective intelligence. |
