Cognitive Complexity Michael Milburn Psychology 335

Tetlock Readings What variables are being measured? How are they measured? What is the hypothesis or hypotheses being tested? What is the method? Correlational or experimental? What data are used? What are the results? How do they relate to the hypotheses being tested? Is cognitive complexity good or bad?

Georgoudi Levels of complexity Non-dialectical, Potentially dialectical, Dialectical Dialectic –Plato –Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis

Georgoudi Differentiates between: accidents, occurrences, coincidences in types of explanations individuals present (situational effects on complexity) Attributions central to ideology Ideology presents a causal explanation for the events in the world

Rosenberg Levels of complexity Sequential, Linear, Systematic Similar categories in Tetlock’s, Georgoudi’s, and Rosenberg’s models of complexity
