Physics envy: Trying to fit a square peg into a round hole
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 36 (3):306-307 (2013)
Abstract
Pothos & Busemeyer (P&B) argue that classical probability (CP) fails to describe human decision processes accurately and should be supplanted by quantum probability. We accept the premise, but reject P&B's conclusion. CP is a prescriptive framework that has inspired a great deal of valuable research. Also, because CP is used across the sciences, it is a cornerstone of interdisciplinary collaborationDOI
