A Note on Quantum States and Observables in Psychological Measurements

نویسنده

  • Ehtibar N. Dzhafarov
چکیده

The problem considered is how to map the concepts of Quantum Theory (QT) to elements of a psychological experiment. The QT concepts are “measurement,” “state,” and “observable”. The elements of a psychological experiment are trial, stimulus, instructions, questions, and responses.

دینامیک کوانتومی ذره جرم‌دار روی دوسیتر 3+1

 The phase space which is related to the motion of massive particle on 1+3- De sitter space is a 3-dimensional complex sphere. Our main aim in this study is discribing this movement in the frame quantum mechanics. Transfering from classical mechanic to quantum mechanics is possible by means of coherent states. Thus, after determination of this state, we quantize some of the classical observables.

فرمولبندی هندسی کوانتش تغییرشکل برزین

  In this paper we try to formulate the Berezin quantization on projective Hilbert space P(H) and use its geometric structure to construct a correspondence between a given classical theory and a given quantum theory. It wil be shown that the star product in berezin quantization is equivalent to the Posson bracket on coherent states manifold M, embodded in P(H), and the Berezin method is used to...

Quantum model for psychological measurements: from the projection postulate to interference of mental observables represented as positive operator valued measures

Recently foundational issues of applicability of the formalism of quantum mechanics (QM) to cognitive psychology, decision making, and psychophysics attracted a lot of interest. In particular, in [1] the possibility to use of the projection postulate and representation of “mental observables” by Hermitian operators was discussed in very detail. The main conclusion of the recent discussions on t...

Order Effects in Sequential Measurements of Non-Commuting Psychological Observables

Sequential measurements of non-commuting observables produce order effects that are well-known in quantum physics. But their conceptual basis, a significant measurement interaction, is relevant for far more general situations. We argue that non-commutativity is ubiquitous in psychology where almost every interaction with a mental system changes that system in an uncontrollable fashion. Psycholo...

Individual ergodic theorem for intuitionistic fuzzy observables using intuitionistic fuzzy state

The classical ergodic theory hasbeen built on σ-algebras. Later the Individual ergodictheorem was studied on more general structures like MV-algebrasand quantum structures. The aim of this paper is to formulate theIndividual ergodic theorem for intuitionistic fuzzy observablesusing  m-almost everywhere convergence, where  m...
