Bayesians Sometimes Cannot Ignore Even Very Implausible Theories
In applying Bayes’s theorem to the history of science, Bayesians sometimes assume – often without argument – that they can safely ignore very implausible theories. This assumption is false, both in that it can seriously distort the history of science as well as the mathematics and the applicability of Bayes’s theorem. There are intuitively very plausible counter-examples. In fact, one can ignor...

متن کاملDecision-making environments in which unboundedly rational decision makers choose to ignore relevant information
This paper advances the claim that ignoring relevant information is sometimes consistent with good decision making. Although that finding is not new, the argument presented here is. In contrast with bounded rationality models, the decision-making model in this paper presupposes no cognitive constraints or costs associated with processing available information. The paper identifies a class of de...
متن کاملShould Psychology Ignore the Language of the Brain?
Claims that neuroscientific data do not contribute to our understanding of psychological functions have been made recently. Here I argue that these criticisms are solely based on an analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies. However, fMRI is only one of the methods in the toolkit of cognitive neuroscience. I provide examples from research on event-related brain potentials...
متن کاملWhy scaffolding should sometimes make tasks more difficult for learners
ABSTRACT There has been much interest in using software tools to scaffold learners in complex tasks, that is, to provide supports that enable students to deal with more complex content and skill demands than they could otherwise handle. Many different approaches to scaffolding techniques have been presented in a broad range of software tools. We discuss two mechanisms to explain how software to...
