Cognitive biases resulting from the representativeness heuristic in operations management: an experimental investigation (open access)

Cognitive biases resulting from the representativeness heuristic in operations management: an experimental investigation

This article investigates the six cognitive biases resulting from the use of the representativeness heuristic, namely, insensitivity to prior probability of outcomes, insensitivity to sample size, misconception of chance, insensitivity to predictability, the illusion of validity, and misconception of regression. Specifically, the authors examine how cognitive reflection and training affect these six cognitive biases in the operations management context.

Multiple levers for overcoming the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass (open access)

Multiple levers for overcoming the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass

The article evaluates the impacts of physical, chemical and genetic interventions to improve biomass processing singly and in combination. Based on their results and literature studies, some form of non-biological augmentation will likely be necessary for the foreseeable future to achieve high total carbohydrate solubilization (TCS) for most cellulosic feedstocks. The results show that this need not necessarily involve thermochemical processing, and need not necessarily occur prior to biological conversion.

An ecological measure to screen executive functioning in Multiple Sclerosis: the Picture Interpretation Test (PIT) 360° (open access)

An ecological measure to screen executive functioning in Multiple Sclerosis: the Picture Interpretation Test (PIT) 360°

This article's aim was to compare the efficiency of the Picture Interpretation Test 360° (PIT 360°) with traditional measures on executive dysfunction in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) and Healthy Controls (HC). Overall, the PIT 360° was concluded to be a quick, sensitive, and ecological tool that captures real-world executive dysfunction in PwMS. This engaging measure is sensitive for the detection of executive deficits since the early phases of the disease.
