At home in the quantum world

Behav Brain Sci. 2013 Jun;36(3):276-7. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X12002853.

Abstract

One among many misleading quotations about the alleged mysteries of quantum theory is from Feynman (1965): "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." Today we know that quantum theory describes many aspects of our world in a fully intelligible fashion. Pothos & Busemeyer (P&B) propose ways in which this may include psychology and cognitive science.
