Rationality In An Uncertain World: Essays In The Cognitive Science Of Human Understanding
Editat de Nick Chater, Mike Oaksforden Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 1998
Oaksford and Chater's argument draws on research in computer science, artificial intelligence and philosophy of science, in addition to experimental psychology. The authors propose that probability theory, the calculus of uncertain inference, provides a more appropriate model for human thought. They show how a probabilistic account can provide detailed explanations of experimental data on Wason's selection task, which many have viewed as providing a paradigmatic demonstration of human irrationality. Oaksford and Chater show that people's behaviour appears irrational only from a logical point of view, whereas it is entirely rational from a probabilistic perspective. The shift to a probabilistic framework for human inference has significant implications for the psychology of reasoning, cognitive science more generally, and forour picture of ourselves as rational agents.

'The authors compile their case, sometimes wittily, and invariably with scholarship.' - D.W. Green, University College, London in Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psycholog, 2000
Descriere
The essays in this work focus on problems with logic-based approaches to human reasoning, showing how a probablistic approach can provide a more psychologically plausible, computationally viable and philosophically respectable account of human
