Introduction
The way humans comprehend various events is a rather complicated feature of their minds. It is performed by means of quantitative research because it uses observations recorded as numbers and implements various formulas.
Discussion
The purpose of this study is to quantify how the aforementioned strategy influences the accuracy of estimation by means of the context of two hierarchal inference tasks, casual cue combination and category-based perception. The research question is why humans have a tendency to implement a conditioned inference strategy. The hypothesis expects to demonstrate that accuracy is less beneficial for feature values that are more or less close to the decision, however, are more appropriate in other cases.
The study uses such variables as category-based perception, causal cue combination and many other aspects. Its assessments predominantly focus on comparing interference accuracy at the feature level. The findings of the study have revealed multiple interesting aspects (Qiu, Luu & Stocker, 2020). For example, the researchers have demonstrated that a conditioned inference strategy becomes especially beneficial to a person when late noise disturbs the sensory signal. This inference, as they later show, has the capability of predicting various memory biases that have been revealed in remembering colors and other visual aspects.
Conclusion
The study can be used to thoroughly review such moments as the way cognitive interference works, as well as it being a less costly strategy. Moreover, the findings can be used to review such moments as the discussion of optimality in human perception. The strategies used by cognitive interference may be more ubiquitous than people currently think it is at the moment. The conclusion further accentuates the complication of these aspects, requiring further and significantly more research on the matter.
