Thesis
Cognitive Models of Decision Making: Why Precision MattersHere you can download the full version of my thesis.
You can also download the separate chapters:
Chapter 1: Introduction
In which we give an overview of the topic and introduce the methods.
Chapter 2: The Availability of Explanations in Memory for Diagnostic Reasoning
In which we use behavioral experiments and ACT-R models to test the idea that observations activate associated explanations in memory.
Chapter 3: Modeling Information Integration with Parallel Constraint Satisfaction
In which we explore different methods of modeling sequential information integration with parallel constraint satisfaction.
Chapter 4: The Influence of Experience and Context on Hypothesis Generation
In which we use behavioral experiments and an ACT-R model to investigate the respective contribution of previous experience and current context on explanations’ availability in memory.
Chapter 5: Thirty-Nine ACT-R Models of Decision Making
In which we use ACT-R to compare different strategies that have been proposed for how people make decisions based on the availability of information in memory.
Supplementary Materials Chapter 5
Chapter 6: Summary & Conclusion
In which we summarize the findings and discuss why precision matters.
