Why this is wrong: high-school students in the Philippines improved their intuitive accuracy on the bat-and-ball problem with a simple intervention, regardless of cognitive abilities

Résumé

According to traditional dual-process theories of reasoning, solving the bat-and-ball problem requires deliberation to correct erroneous intuitions. Recent developments have challenged this long-held assumption, with studies showing that some people could even solve it intuitively. Interindividual factors such as cognitive capacity and numeracy may also explain differences in our ability to avoid being biased in similar problems. Recently, a training intervention – explaining why the common answer is wrong - was shown to sustainably improve reasoning accuracy in adult participants online, both intuitively and deliberatively. In this preregistered study, we replicated the effect of this training intervention with high schoolers in the Philippines while looking at the contribution of cognitive capacity and numeracy, using a two-response paradigm. Cognitive capacity and numeracy were related to intuitive and deliberate performance before the intervention. Moreover, the improvement in the intervention group was still significant when those were controlled for.
