Holistic Processing and Left-Digit Effect

The paper examines when people are more likely to fall prey to the left-digit effect. We show that when people make stimulus-based (vs. memory-based) evaluations, the left-digit effect is enhanced. We argue that this effect is driven by the relative salience of digital (vs. holistic) processing of price information.
