The statistical properties of data are often communicated using visual graphs, such as scatterplots. This seminar will explore how decision-makers, as Bayesian learners, optimally interpret data points they attend to, with judgment errors emerging from biased sampling of information. Through four eye-tracking experiments (total N = 421), Dr. He will demonstrate that a Bayesian learning model, trained on sensory inputs from visual information search, can accurately predict participant judgments and associated biases. The seminar will introduce a new computational model of information sampling that, combined with the Bayesian model, replicates observed behavioral patterns, offering fresh insights into data visualization and statistical communication.
