Thermodynamics as a theory of decision-making with information-processing costs
Perfectly rational decision-makers maximize expected utility, but crucially ignore the resource costs incurred when determining optimal actions. Here, we propose a thermodynamically inspired formalization of bounded rational decision-making where information processing is modelled as state changes in thermodynamic systems that can be quantified by differences in free energy. By optimizing a fre...
متن کاملInformation processing in decision-making systems.
Decisions result from an interaction between multiple functional systems acting in parallel to process information in very different ways, each with strengths and weaknesses. In this review, the authors address three action-selection components of decision-making: The Pavlovian system releases an action from a limited repertoire of potential actions, such as approaching learned stimuli. Like th...
متن کاملInformation processing, motivation and decision making
In (Botelho and Coelho, 1995) the authors presented a model of memory for autonomous artificial agents (SALT: Schema-Associative Long Term memory). The main feature of the SALT model is that it allows agents to exhibit contextdependent cognition. This is an important feature since it enables us to gain a better understanding of the reasons why someone may produce different decisions about a giv...
متن کاملInformation processing , motivation and decision making ( extended
We present a computational model of decision making called COMINT (COgnition and Motivation INTegration model). The model explains the role of motivation in decision making. COMINT is able of generating the four decision making styles proposed by Forgas (1994), using a single information processing mechanism, like suggested in (Baumeister and Newman, 1994). The model considers two kinds of moti...
متن کاملUsing Accounting Information in Decision Making of Hospitals Managers
Decision making process requires information. Accounting is the most important source of information. In 1998, the international federation of accountants issued a statement about the scope and using of accounting. It identified 4 stages for using accounting information: cost determination, planning and financial control, reduction of resources waste and creation the value. This study was desig...
