The ability to predict future consequences on the basis of previous experience with the current set of environmental cues is one of the most fundamental of all cognitive processes. This study investigated how the validity of one cue influences the effectiveness of another cue for predicting a criterion. The results demonstrate a cue competition effect—increasing the validity of one cue decreased the effectiveness of another cue in a linear prediction task, even though the two cues were statistically independent.
