Monkeys overestimate connected arrays in a relative quantity task: A reverse connectedness illusion.
Atten Percept Psychophys
November 2024
The Citadel Military College of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Humans and many animals tend to make relative quantity judgments consistently, but can also fall for quantity-related illusions, with the connectedness illusion being one example in humans.
- This illusion causes people to underestimate the number of connected items compared to unconnected ones.
- A study tested rhesus and capuchin monkeys to see if they experienced the same illusion, but the results showed that the monkeys actually preferred arrays of connected items as more numerous, indicating they do not experience the illusion as humans do.
Complexity and entropy of natural patterns.

Complexity and entropy play crucial roles in understanding dynamic systems across various disciplines. Many intuitively perceive them as distinct measures and assume that they have a concave-down relationship. In everyday life, there is a common consensus that while entropy never decreases, complexity does decrease after an initial increase during the process of blending coffee and milk.

Objective: The "illusion of control" is a dominant cognitive illusion in disordered gambling, but its role in shaping irrational gambling beliefs has been questioned by recent null experimental findings. Here, we aimed to test this recent work, in a preregistered Bayesian framework, by additionally correlating the dependent variable (nonuniform probabilistic beliefs) with self-reported gambling behavior and by exploring "passive superstition" as an alternative driver of these irrational gambling beliefs.
Method: A between-participants online experiment involving three boxes, one of which a $1 prize was randomly assigned to ( = 3,064; 49.
Partial awareness during voluntary endogenous decision.

Despite our feeling of control over decisions, our ability to consciously access choices before execution remains debated. Recent research reveals prospective access to intention to act, allowing potential vetoes of impending decisions. However, whether the content of impending decision can be accessed remain debated.
