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 modeled 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.
