Kissing cousins but not identical twins: The denominator neglect and base-rate respect models
Brainerd's open peer commentary argues that Barbey and Sloman's base-rate respect model was anticipated by Reyna's denominator neglect model. He names three parallels: both rest on a general cognitive theory, both treat problem structure as a source of reasoning error, and both see nested set relations as the cause of base-rate neglect.
