Abstract

This paper describes a group-based exercise for helping participants: (1) understand their judgmental biases and the heuristics that produce them; (2) recognize overconfidence in their own subjective judgments, and why this overconfidence occurs; and (3) recognize the conditions which cause groups to improve (or worsen) judgmental accuracy.
