Non-linear multiple-cue judgment tasks

In two experiments we examined which cognitive proc-esses people use in a non-linear multiple cue judgment task, proposing that people are not able to use explicit cue ab-straction when judging objects with a non-linear structure between the cues of the objects and the criterion and there-fore they are forced to use exemplar-based processes. Con-sistent with the results reveal strong exemplar effects in the non-linear condition
