In this webinar, Dr. Nigel Turner, independent scientist, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, will discuss his research on key errors people make in their understanding of random events including the gamblers fallacy, the belief in systems, and more over a failure to understand the independence of random events. In general, most people struggle to understand random chance, but people with gambling problems make more errors than most. Dr. Turner will discuss research conducted to identify key variables of interest in contrasting people with gambling problems compared to people without gambling problems. We will discuss the implication of these findings for education and treatment.
