Abstract

Recent debiasing studies showed that a single, short explanation to heuristics-and-biases tasks can help people generate correct responses. However not every biased reasoner improved. We tested whether repeating a debiasing intervention can further boost intuitive and deliberate reasoning performance. Results show that successive trainings entrenched learning and protected against forgetting.
