style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US">Many studies
have investigated how people make decisions based on their previous encounters
with an object or situation. For instance, researchers have examined how
consumers rely on their familiarity with brand names when inferring which
consumer goods are likely to be quality products. One recent model that operates
on such a sense of recognition is the <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">recognition heuristic</I> (Goldstein &
Gigerenzer, 1999, 2002). According to this particularly simple rule of thumb,
probabilistic inferences about unknown quantities and uncertain events are based
solely on recognition information—even when other knowledge can be retrieved
from memory. As such, the heuristic links one of the most basic processes of
<SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">memory</SPAN>—recognition—and decision
making under uncertainty. </SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US"><FONT
size=3>The recognition heuristic has been the subject of a large amount of
research—in judgment and decision making and in other fields. This research has
largely been motivated by a highly controversial debate about whether, when, and
how people base their decisions on recognition information, how accurate these
decisions can be, and whether and how the recognition heuristic differs from
related decision strategies, such as the various notions of fluency or
availability. The planned special issue strives not only to give an overview of
the current debate but also to present the latest research and theoretical
developments in this domain of decision making, giving researchers the
opportunity to present and evaluate models of decision making that are based on
recognition processes.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US">Another goal is
to bring together advocates and critics of the <I>fast-and-frugal heuristics
approach</I> (e.g., Gigerenzer, Todd, & the ABC Research Group, 1999), which
is the framework in which the recognition heuristic was originally developed,
thereby highlighting and potentially resolving some of the controversial issues.
This objective is reflected in the composition of the special issue’s editors:
While Julian Marewski has at times acted more as a proponent of the recognition
heuristic, Rüdiger Pohl can be considered one of its critics. Oliver Vitouch, in
turn, holds the middle ground. In bringing together researchers with different
theoretical positions, the editors will seek to integrate the emerging theories
on the recognition heuristic and other inferential strategies into an
overarching framework of decision making under uncertainty. At the same time,
they hope to encourage a deeper understanding of the role of recognition in
inferential decision making, tackle unresolved questions about the scope and
nature of the underlying processes, and shed light on memory and decision
making, alike.</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US
