Towards a quantum-like cognitive architecture for decision-making

Behav Brain Sci. 2020 Mar 11:43:e17. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X19001687.

Abstract

We propose an alternative and unifying framework for decision-making that, by using quantum mechanics, provides more generalised cognitive and decision models with the ability to represent more information compared to classical models. This framework can accommodate and predict several cognitive biases reported in Lieder & Griffiths without heavy reliance on heuristics or on assumptions of the computational resources of the mind.
