Abstract

Overprecision is the excessive certainty in the accuracy of one's judgment. This article proposes a new theory to explain it. The theory holds that overprecision in judgment results from neglect of all the ways in which one could be wrong. When there are many ways to be wrong, it can be difficult to consider them all. Overprecision is the result of being wrong and not knowing it. This explanation can account for why question formats have such a dramatic influence on the degree of overprecision people report. It also explains the ubiquity of overprecision not only among people but also among artificially intelligent agents. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

过度背诵是思维系统的一种特性。
过度精确是指一个人判断的准确性过于确定。本文提出了一个新的理论来解释它。该理论认为,判断中的过度复述是由于忽视了所有可能出错的方面。当有很多错误的时候,很难把它们都考虑在内。过度背诵是错误和不知道的结果。这一解释可以解释为什么问题格式对人们报告的过度背诵程度有如此巨大的影响。这也解释了过度背诵不仅在人中普遍存在,而且在人工智能体中也普遍存在。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
