Frequency estimation and semantic ambiguity do not eliminate ‎conjunction bias, when it ‎occurs: Replication and extension of ‎Mellers, Hertwig, and Kahneman (2001)‎, Chandrashekar et al. (2021). Outcome recorded: mixed. Linda profile findings were in sup- port of conjunction effect and consistent with Tversky and Kahneman's (1983) arguments for a representative heuristic. We found no support for semantic ambiguity. Findings for James profile were a likely failed replication, with no conjunction effect. View paper
