Fig. 17 — Example of stimuli used by Galesic et al. (2009) in a study demonstrating that natural frequency visualizations can help individuals overcome less numeracy. Participants completed three medical scenario tasks using similar visualizations as depicted here, in which they were asked about the effects of aspirin on risk of stroke or heart attack and about a hypothetical new drug. Redrawn from “Using icon arrays to communicate medical risks: overcoming less numeracy” by M. Galesic, R. Garcia-Retamero, and G. Gigerenzer. 2009, Health Psychology, 28(2), 210
