Beyond quantum probability: another formalism shared by quantum physics and psychology

Behav Brain Sci. 2013 Jun;36(3):283-4. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X12002920.

Abstract

There is another meeting place for quantum physics and psychology, both within and outside of cognitive modeling. In physics it is known as the issue of classical (probabilistic) determinism, and in psychology it is known as the issue of selective influences. The formalisms independently developed in the two areas for dealing with these issues turn out to be identical, opening ways for mutually beneficial interactions.
