As a proximal cue, fluency can help us navigate an uncertain world because it reflects the statistical structure of our environment. We can use the ecological connection between fluency and the world to inform our judgments and decisions.

Yes, one can increase accuracy by averaging multiple estimates from the same person (Herzog & Hertwig, 2009; Hourihan & Benjamin, 2010; Müller-Trede, 2011; Rauhut & Lorenz, 2011; Stroop, 1932; Vul & Pashler, 2008; White & Antonakis, 2013; Winkler & Clemen, 2004). We proposed boosting this crowd-within effect with what we called dialectical bootstrapping (Herzog & Hertwig, 2009; hereafter, H&H): averaging a person's first estimate with his or ...
