Dynamical Embodiments of Computation in Cognitive Processes

Crutchfield, James P. - Santa Fe Institute - 1998

Dynamics is not enough for cognition nor is it a substitute for information processing aspects of brain behavior …

McFadden, Daniel - Santa Fe Institute - 1998

Rationality is a complex behavioral theory that can be parsed into statements about preferences, perceptions, and process. This paper looks at the evidence on rationality that is provided by behavioral experiments, and argues that most cognitive anomalies operate through errors in perception...

Adaptive Models and the Power of the Incumbent

Marchi, Scott de - Santa Fe Institute - 1997

Collective Choice and Mutual Knowledge Structures

Richards, Diana; Richards, Whitman A.; McKay, Brendan D. - Santa Fe Institute - 1998

An important puzzle in the study of complex systems is the conditions under which the aggregation of information from interacting agents results in a stable or an unstable collective outcome. We present a general framework for thinking about the stability and instability of collective outcomes...

Analogy-Making as a Complex Adaptive System

Mitchell, Melanie - Santa Fe Institute - 2000

Risk Starvation Contributes to Dementias and Depressions: Whiffs of Danger Are the Antidote

Pope, Robin - University of Bonn, Germany - 2009

This paper’s objective is to use SKAT, the author’s Stages of Knowledge Ahead Theory of risk, to shed fresh light on the treatment and prevention of mental disorders. SKAT employs a broad definition of risk that allows for nice – not merely nasty – possibilities. SKAT is here shown to...

Asynchrony and Learning in Serial and Average Cost Pricing Mechanisms: An Experimental Study

Chen, Yan - University of Bonn, Germany - 1992

payoff-based learning models are simulated in order to understand individual learning behavior in distributed systems. Under … the serial mechanism the payoff-assessment learning model (Sarin and Vahid (1997)) provides the best fit to the data …, followed by the experience-weighted attraction learning model (Camerer and Ho (1999)), which in turn, is followed by a simple …

Navigating a Nonlinear Environment: An Experimental Study of Decision Making in a Chaotic Setting

Richards, Diana; Hays, Jude - Santa Fe Institute - 1997

There is increasing evidence that collective behavior, such as social choice, price dynamics, and strategic behavior, is related to nonlinear dynamics and thus has the potential for instability and complex behavior. This paper presents experimental results where subjects are placed in a...
