Working memory and spatial judgments: Cognitive load increases the central tendency bias
Sarah R., Allred; L. Elizabeth, Crawford; Sean, Duffy; … - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2015
Previous work demonstrates that memory for simple stimuli can be biased by information about the category of which the stimulus is a member. Specifically, stimuli with values greater than the category’s average tend to be underestimated and stimuli with values less than the average are...

Dynamics of Organizations: Computational Modeling and Organizational Theories
Lomi, Alessandro (contributor); Larsen, Erik R. (contributor) - The MIT Press
An organization is more than the sum of its parts, and the individual components that function as a complex social system can be understood only by analyzing their collective behavior. This book shows how state-of-the-art simulation methods, including genetic algorithms, neural networks, and...

The Contingent Effects of Transactive Memory: When Is It More Beneficial to Know What Others Know?
Ren, Yuqing; Carley, Kathleen M.; Argote, Linda - In: Management Science 52 (2006) 5, pp. 671-682
Previous studies have provided evidence of the positive impact of transactive memory (TM) on group performance, such as the efficient storage and recall of knowledge and better product quality. This paper aims to unify the experimental research on TM and to extend it to more dynamic and diverse...
