Measurable systems and behavioral sciences
Individual choices often depend on the order in which the decisions are made. In this paper, we expose a general theory of measurable systems (an example of which is an individual’s preferences) allowing for incompatible (non-commuting) measurements. The basic concepts are illustrated in an example of non-classical rational choice. We conclude with a discussion of some of the basic properties o...

متن کاملBehavioral and Brain Sciences
Quantum Probability (QP) Theory provides an alternative account of empirical phenomena in decision making that Classical Probability (CP) cannot explain. Cognitive architectures combine probabilistic mechanisms with symbolic knowledgebased representations (e.g., heuristics) to address effects that motivate QP. They provide simple and natural explanations of these phenomena based on general cogn...
متن کاملBehavioral and Brain Sciences
Abstract: In line with Dixon, Levine, Reicher & Durrheim's argument, I suggest that prejudice should be understood in broadly political rather than narrowly psychological terms. First, what counts as prejudice is a political judgement. Second, studies of collective action demonstrate that it is in 'political' struggles, where subordinate groups together oppose dominant groups, that prejudice ca...
متن کاملComplex Adaptive Systems in the Behavioral and Social Sciences
This article examines applications of complexity theory within the behavioral and social sciences. Specific attention is given to the fundamental characteristics of complex adaptive systems (CAS)--such as individuals, groups, and societies-including the underlying structure of CAS, the internal dynamics of evolving CAS, and how CAS respond to their environment. Examples drawn from psychology, s...
