Monty Hall versus Cognitive Dissonance

The New York Times' Tierney Lab blog has a nice summary of a debate between Yale psychologists Egan, Santos and Bloom and Economist Chen:

TierneyLab: Monkeys, Candy and Cognitive Dissonance

To rescue the theory of cognitive dissonance from the Monty Hall Problem, an economist argued that psychologists needed to redesign their experiments. Now the psychologists have done just that.

The psychologists apparently forgot to account for the Monty Hall problem in their prior work.
