Discussion

Experiments demonstrate judgment frequency's influence on causal learning outcomes in varied trial types, indicating complex mechanisms.

Judgment frequency significantly affects causal learning outcomes in both positive and negative scenarios, revealing complex interactions between judgments and trial types.
In Experiment 1, a high positive contingency (DP=0.71) and a larger block size (n=16) reinforced the reliability of the judgment frequency effect.
Experiment 2 confirmed that judgment frequency also influences the detection of negative contingencies (DP=-0.5), modifying judgment accuracy based on prior trials.
The findings challenge existing associative models, suggesting that new assumptions are needed to explain human causal learning processes.
