Title

Criterion Shift And Anchoring In A Discrimination Training Paradigm: The Importance Of Pre-Training

Abstract

We report an empirical investigation on pre-training and its effects on overall training accuracy. This study was developed to explore a potential new venue aiming at improving overall training effectiveness for airport X-Ray screeners by means of pretraining. Specifically, we looked at presence or absence of pre-training and how it affected training performance. Pre-training was theoretically framed around the concept of criterion shift and anchoring in a signal detection paradigm. Results showed that pretraining successfully mitigated participants' initial biases brought to the training environment by shifting participant's criterion to a more neutral position in terms of discrimination training rules and heuristics.
