Decisions to follow a rule
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (2):280-281 (2002)
| Abstract | Rachlin favors following patterns over making decisions case by case. However, his accounts of self-control and altruism do not establish the rationality of making decisions according to patterns. The best arguments for using patterns as a standard of evaluation appeal to savings in cognitive costs and compensation for irrational dispositions. What the arguments show depends on how they are elaborated and refined. | |||||||||
