- Probability matching does not decrease under cognitive load: A preregistered failure to replicate, Schulze et al. (2019). Memory & Cognition. Outcome recorded: failed.
We did not find a statistically significant effect of cognitive load on strategy selection in repeated binary choice. Moreover, in many cases, Bayesian analyses, which were performed in addition to conventional methods of null hypothesis significance testing, yielded substantial evidence in favor of the absence of cognitive load effects on choice behavior. Thus, we found no reliable support for the claim that taxing cognitive resources leads to improved decision-making in…
