Rational Irrationality
We present a game-theoretic account of irrational agent behavior and define conditions under which irrational behavior may be considered quasi-rational. To do so, we use a 2-player, zero-sum strategic game, parameterize the reward structure and study how the value of the game changes with this parameter. We argue that for any “underdog” agent, there is a point at which the asymmetry of the game...
متن کاملRational Choices - Social Contexts
In neoclassical economic theory, rational actors are very simple entities: they know everything, they value more better than less, and given a decision situation with certain physical constraints they are able to calculate the optimal outcome and to behave accordingly (cf. Kiser/Ostrom). Any form of social interaction enters the decision situation as an additional constraint. Relaxing the condi...
متن کاملTransfer Across Temporal Contexts
Many studies have shown that retrieving information during a test facilitates later memory for that information. Most research on this testing effect has focused on retention of information measured via a final test that is similar to the initial test. Much less is known about the potential of testing to promote the application—i.e., transfer—of learning. In this article, I review recent studie...
متن کاملDeontic Reasoning Across Contexts
Contrastivism about ‘ought’ holds that ‘ought’ claims are relativized, at least implicitly, to sets of mutually exclusive but not necessarily jointly exhaustive alternatives. This kind of theory can solve puzzles that face other linguistic theories of ‘ought’, via the rejection or severe restriction of principles that let us make inferences between ‘ought’ claims. By rejecting or restricting th...
متن کاملCoherent Generalization Across Contexts
Two competing psychological approaches to causal learning make different predictions regarding what aspect of perceived causality is generalized across contexts. Two experiments tested these predictions. In one experiment, the task required a judgment regarding the existence of a simple causal relation; in the other, the task required a judgment regarding the existence of an interaction between...
