What is it about?
This paper investigates if by providing a story (e.g. simple semantics or a narrative) behind the data can help people understand the data more effectively. It also compares different type of narratives (e.e., make a judgment vs decision).

Why is it important?
Experimental studies often involve a simulation scenario in their instructions. So it is important to understand whether certain scenarios can harm accuracy.
Perspectives
Perhaps the most interesting finding of this paper is that participants appear to respond differently to an analytic task, such as a comparison, than to its direct-equivalent decision task. This can act as an evidence that analytic accuracy may not feed forward directly into better decision making.
