Abstract

Resource rationality may explain suboptimal patterns of reasoning; but what of "anti-Bayesian" effects where the mind updates in a direction opposite the one it should? We present two phenomena - belief polarization and the size-weight illusion - that are not obviously explained by performance- or resource-based constraints, nor by the authors' brief discussion of reference repulsion. Can resource rationality accommodate them?
