Before
described by Camille Swink and colleagues in a 1990 study published in <em>Journal of Experimental Psychology</em>
Afterdescribed by Colin Camerer, George Loewenstein, and Martin Weber in a 1989 study published in the <em>Journal of Political Economy</em>
Why: 3 issues fixed: No study by 'Camille Swink' on the curse of knowledge exists in the literature. The curse of knowledge as an economic/cognitive bias was described by Camerer, Loewenstein, and Weber in a 1989 paper in the Journal of Political Economy (not Journal of Experimental Psychology, and not 1990). | 'Theory-based categorization' as a concept describing experts vs. novices organizing category knowledge around causal theories rather than perceptual similarity was established by Murphy & Medin (1985) in Psychological Review, not by Paul Bloom in a 2000 Psychological Review paper. This is a real researcher (Paul Bloom is a real Yale psychologist) misattributed to a fabricated citation detail. | The actual Deslauriers, Schelew & Wieman (2011) Science study reported exam scores of 74% vs 41% for the active-learning versus lecture groups, described in the literature as 'more than twice' the score, not a '2.5-fold improvement in learning gains.'
