Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision
Much of our understanding of human thinking is based on probabilistic
models. This innovative book by Jerome R. Busemeyer and Peter D. Bruza
argues that, actually, the underlying mathematical structures from quantum
theory provide a much better account of human thinking than traditional
models. They introduce the foundations for modelling probabilistic-dynamic
systems using two aspects of quantum theory. The first, “contextuality,” is a
way to understand interference effects found with inferences and decisions
under conditions of uncertainty. The second, “quantum entanglement,” allows
cognitive phenomena to be modelled in non-reductionist ways. Employing
these principles drawn from quantum theory allows us to view human
cognition and decision in a totally new light. Introducing the basic principles
in an easy-to-follow way, this book does not assume a physics background or a
quantum brain and comes complete with a tutorial and fully worked-out
applications in important areas of cognition and decision.
Jerome R. Busemeyer
is a Professor in the Department of Psychological
and Brain Sciences at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA. His research
includes mathematical models of learning and decision making, and he has
formulated a dynamic theory of human decision making called decision field
theory. Professor Busemeyer has published over 100 articles in cognitive and
decision science journals, including
Psychological Review,
and was Chief Editor
of the
Journal of Mathematical Psychology
from 2005 to 2010.
Peter D. Bruza
is a Professor in the Faculty of Science and Technology at
Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. His research
intersects information retrieval, cognitive science, and applied logic. He is a
pioneer and co-instigator of the field of quantum interaction (QI) and serves
on the steering committee of the quantum interaction symposia. Professor
Bruza also serves on the editorial boards of
Information Retrieval, Journal of
Applied Logic, The Logic Journal of the IGPL,
and the “Information Science
and Knowledge Management” book series.
