The CRT scores are then compared with other measures of cognitive ability or cognitive "style." The CRT scores exhibit considerable difference between men and women and the article explores how this relates to sex differences in time and risk preferences.

The author examines the relation between CRT scores and two important decision-making characteristics: time preference and risk preference. Indeed, the relation is sometimes so strong that the preferences themselves effectively function as expressions of cognitive ability-an empirical fact begging for a theoretical explanation. The author will show that CRT scores are predictive of the types of choices that feature prominently in tests of decision-making theories, like expected utility theory and prospect theory. Since we are all spread out in different cities in Europe, it makes sense to meet in person and work with the genius loci, stories, and people of different places,” they tell us, “we would also like the current constellation of us to grow, inviting people from different backgrounds to join.This paper introduces a three-item "Cognitive Reflection Test" (CRT) as a simple measure of one type of cognitive ability-the ability or disposition to reflect on a question and resist reporting the first response that comes to mind. “As the format of the workshop worked really well for us, we would like to repeat this experience. At the moment, they are currently working on a publication presenting the research and outcome of the residency at Stuben Monastery and are planning to set up an exhibition at 101PS in Cologne during autumn. Looking into the future, they hope to build on this connection and continue working together, despite the distance.


“Living together and sharing ideas on a daily basis-in this magical setting-created these connections that went beyond the practice itself but generated a kind of symbiosis within the group,” they tell us. The week was primarily about exchange and curiosity about new methodologies and techniques.”Īs they had never met in real life before starting this project, the residency was also meant to explore their potential as a collective. It can be very inspiring to step out of your comfort zone and approach the material with the fresh eye of an amateur. “During our first digital meetings, it became clear that everyone just naturally wanted to share and bring something to the collective,” the group tells us, “from techniques, skills or tools we created a common playground of possibilities and exchange. We all like to try new practices and are willing to share our knowledge.” To avoid any kind of hierarchies, they approached the curation of the workshop and exhibition as a team, so that everyone was equally evolved in the research process and exploration of the place. “Maybe one of us would call herself a graphic designer at one point, but a scenographer, a product designer, or a craftsman at another,” they state, “we are an interdisciplinary group with great curiosity. Though they live in different places far and wide and come from quite different backgrounds, all members of the group all share similar interests and openness for experimentation. The resulting artworks-which were later presented under the name ‘Genius Loci’-are based on a collection of stories and facts about the location and its surroundings, as well as some personal experiences during their stay, and represent their shared creative voice. Based on the concept of 101PS, a platform for temporary working groups and curators from Cologne which was initiated by Hannah in 2020, they founded a temporary collective and embarked on a journey of self-reflection, creative exchange, and learning. Out of an urge to reconnect and fuel exchange after this challenging year, Hannah Kuhlmann, Lisa Ertel, Anne-Sophie Oberkrome, Clara Schweers, and Tatiana Stürmer, invited five other designers to participate in a workshop at Stuben Monastery in Bremm, among them Jenna Kaes, Delphine Lejeune, Juliana Maurer, Kurina Sohn, and Adèle Vivet.

When a group of ten designers comes together to hold an art residency at an old monastery in the midst of the German countryside, you know the result will be something truly special.
