• Epistemic rationality: Skepticism toward unfounded beliefs requires sufficient cognitive ability and motivation to be rational (2018, methodology): “The brief tests of cognitive ability used in the present research have been used extensively to assess quantitative and verbal aspects of intelligence (e.g., Malhotra et al., 2007; Pennycook et al., 2014; Pennycook, Cheyne, Barr, Koehler, & Fugelsang, 2013, 2015).”
• Reasoned connections: A dual-process perspective on creative thought (2015, unknown): “Together, these short tasks comprise an index of broad cognitive abilities and have demonstrated predictive validity in previous work (e.g., Pennycook et al., 2012; Pennycook et al., 2013b).”
• Analytic-thinking predicts hoax beliefs and helping behaviors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (2020, background): “Other research has examined associations between analytic thinking and the judgments and decisions made about carefully designed, but hypothetical, vignettes involving moral issues (e.g., Baron et al., 2015; Patel et al., 2019; Pennycook et al., 2014).”
