Normality: Part descriptive, part prescriptive.
People's beliefs about normality play an important role in many aspects of cognition and life (e.g., causal cognition, linguistic semantics, cooperative behavior). But how do people determine what sorts of things are normal in the first place? Past research has studied both people's representations of statistical norms (e.g., the average) and their representations of prescriptive norms (e.g., t...
متن کاملTesting Descriptive or Prescriptive Conditionals and Differential Effects of Frequency Information
The author proposes and investigates different strategies for testing descriptive and prescriptive conditionals in Wason’s selection tasks. Two experiments examined the influence of frequency information on the postulated Bayesian and deontic test strategies. The rules in both the descriptive and the prescriptive case were social rules. The results of Experiment 1 showed only some of the predic...
متن کاملFrom Descriptive to Prescriptive Models of Agent-Oriented Information Systems
We propose a methodology where the modelling of AgentOriented Information Systems starts from the modelling of strategic relationships between the actors involved, and continues by means-ends analysis connecting business goals to the tasks used for achieving them. Following that, strategic relationships are represented by using the notion of metacommitment, and lifecycles of commitments are mod...
متن کاملA Normative-Prescriptive-Descriptive Approach to Analyzing CSP Heuristics
This paper presents a general framework for analyzing heuristics for constraint solving, including backtracking and arc consistency algorithms. It will emphasize heuristics for variable selection during search, since this is where major differences are found. In earlier work two basic approaches to this problem were developed. The first was a general theoretical framework for different types of...
متن کاملHigh Stakes Decision Making: Normative, Descriptive and Prescriptive Considerations
This paper reviews the state of the art of research on individual decision-making in high-stakes, low-probability settings. A central theme is that resolving high-stakes decisions optimally poses a formidable challenge not only to naı̈ve decision makers, but also to users of more sophisticated tools, such as decision analysis. Such decisions are difficult to make because precise information abou...
