Making Judgments
نویسنده
چکیده
Reasoning-based problem solving deals with discrete entities and manipulates these to derive new entities or produce branching behavior in order to discover a solution. This paradigm has some basic difficulties when applied to certain types of problems. Properly constructed arithmetic functions, such as those using our SNAC principles, can do such problems very well. SNAC constructions have considerable generality and robustness, and thus tend to outperform hand coded case statements as domains get larger. We show how a SNAC fimction can avoid getting stuck on a sub-optimal hill while hill-climbing. A clever move made by our backgammon program in defeating the World Champion is analyzed to show some aspects of the method.

I use the term “judgments” to include decisions, which are judgments about what to do. The major standards come from probability theory, utility theory, and statistics. These are mathematical theories or “m...
متن کاملPredictors, consequence, and measurement of ethical judgments: Review and meta-analysis
a r t i c l e i n f o As a central construct in theories of ethical decision making, ethical judgments have been the subject of more than one hundred empirical studies. Despite its size, the ethical judgments literature seems to lack clarity in three areas. First, empirical results are sometimes inconsistent or contradictory across studies. Second, a broad array of diverse measures of ethical j...
متن کاملImplicit Attitudes , Social Learning , and Moral Credibility
Dichotomous frameworks for understanding human decision-making often distinguish between spontaneous or intuitive judgments, on the one hand, and deliberative, reasoned judgments, on the other. The precise qualities thought to characterize these two kinds of judgments— sometimes aggregated under the headings “System I” and “System II”—change from theory to theory. Recent years, however, have se...

متن کاملDecision-Making and Biases in Causal-Explanatory Reasoning
Decisions often rely on judgments about the probabilities of various explanations. Recent research has uncovered a host of biases that afflict explanatory inference: Would these biases also translate into decision-making? We find that although people show biased inferences when making explanatory judgments in decision-relevant contexts (Exp. 1A), these biases are attenuated or eliminated when t...
