Primes¶
- Anchoring
- Structural tension: Anchors need not be externally supplied; reasoners generate their own from prior estimates, mental starting points, or salient reference numbers, then adjust insufficiently from them.
This sourceDemonstrates that insufficient adjustment is the active mechanism specifically for self-generated anchors.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract reports that insufficient adjustment produces anchoring effects when anchors are self-generated, supporting the core claim but not the enumerated origins of those anchors.
“We argue that this conclusion is premature, and we present evidence that insufficient adjustment produces anchoring effects when the anchors are self-generated.”
- Structural tension: Anchors need not be externally supplied; reasoners generate their own from prior estimates, mental starting points, or salient reference numbers, then adjust insufficiently from them.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
