Synopsis

One of the fundamental pieces of information we use to predict future events, and make sense of past events, is 'frequency' - how often such an event has happened to us, or how often we have observed a particular event. How is it that we process such information? How does our brain deal with information on frequencies? How does such information influence our behavior, beliefs, and judgments? Important new findings on this topic have come from research within both social and cognitive psychology, though until now, never brought together in a single volume. Including contributions from world leaders in both cognitive and social psychology, this is a timely, and long overdue volume on this topic.
