Newcomb’s Problem as Cognitive Illusion
Richard Jeffrey (1983) has said that Newcomb’s Problem may be seen as a rock on which Bayesianism must founder. Despite a vast literature of great technical subtlety and complexity, no solution has emerged. Most recently, Jeffrey (2004) renounced his earlier position and no longer regards Newcomb’s problem as a genuine decision problem at all. Rather, Jeffrey suggests, “Newcomb problems are lik...
متن کاملThe Problem of Quantum Measurement Quantum Measurement as Thermodynamic Limit
We derive the probabilities of measurement results from Schroedinger’s equation plus a definition of macroscopic as a particular kind of thermodynamic limit. Bohr’s insight that a measurement apparatus must be classical in nature and classically describable is made precise in a mathematical sense analogous to the procedures of classical statistical mechanics and the study of Hamiltonian heat ba...

متن کامل"Asia's missing women" as a problem in applied evolutionary psychology?
In many parts of Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, women and children are so undervalued, neglected, abused, and so often killed, that sex ratios are now strongly male biased. In recent decades, sex-biased abortion has exacerbated the problem. In this article I highlight several important insights from evolutionary biology into both the origin and the severe societal consequences of "Asia...
متن کاملApplied Cognitive Psychology
This themed issue aims to present some current directions in cognitive load research. The contributions to this issue represent a compilation of symposia contributions to the 11th European Conference for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI), 2005, in Nicosia, Cyprus. These cognitive load symposia were focused on empirical and theoretical perspectives on designing powerful learning envir...
