Effects of cognitive styles and decision setting on performance

The effects of cognitive style and decision setting on prediction accuracy were examined in the Multiple-cue Probability Learning Paradigm (MCPLP). Cognitive style was measured by the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Decision setting was manipulated by varying sets of meaningful cue labels. Results indicate that task differences (decision settings) affect prediction accuracy. However, no main or interaction effects of cognitive styles on performance were found.
