TL;DR: In this article , a step-by-step tutorial on how to build POMDPs, run simulations using standard MATLAB routines, and fit these models to empirical data is presented.

TL;DR: The authors proposed a taxonomy of surprise definitions and classified them into four conceptual categories based on the quantity they measure: prediction surprise, change point detection surprise, information gain surprise, and confidence-corrected surprise.

TL;DR: The authors developed a model called Ordinal General Context Model (OGCM) based on the generalized context model (GCM), which incorporated serial order as a feature along ordinary physical features, allowing it to account for the effect of sequential order.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed a new general inference method for selecting learning models, which relies upon a specific hold-out cross-validation, which takes into account the dependency within the data.

TL;DR: The authors show that a chaining model can produce protrusions if it includes three characteristics that have been incorporated into published chaining models: (a) a start-signal item is associated with all first list-items, memory is not cleared following each list, and the retrieval cue for each item is always the full non-redintegrated retrieved information, regardless of the response.

TL;DR: This article provided a formal, reasoning-based account of tacit commitments based on virtual bargaining, a mode of reasoning that joins elements of individualistic and collaborative reasoning, and showed that even purely self-interested individuals can, under certain conditions, tacitly commit to punishing counterparts who violate an unenforceable agreement, or to cooperating in dynamic games, including the Centipede game and the finitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma game.

TL;DR: State-trace analysis (STA) as discussed by the authors is a method for determining the number of underlying parameters or latent variables that are varying across two or more tasks, based on the fact that under very weak conditions, any model that predicts an r -dimensional state-trace plot can be used to test for double dissociations.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors characterize the adjacency of vertices and adjacencies of facets of the multiple choice polytope (MCP) and show that these properties apply not only to the MCP, but also to three polytopes which Davis-Stober, Doignon, Fiorini, Glineur and Regenwetter (2018) introduced as extended formulations of the weak-order, interval order and semi-order polytopes.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors apply adaptive design optimization methods (Lesmes et al., 2015; Myung et al. 2013) to optimize the presentation of test stimuli in accordance with previous responses.

TL;DR: In this paper , a social choice rule called majority approval is proposed, which coincides with the simple majority rule when the latter is decisive (i.e., contains no top cycles), and otherwise coincides with approval voting (Brams and Fishburn, 1978) defined on the top cycle set.

TL;DR: In this article , it was shown that the equivalence between atoms and ⨆-irreducible elements of the polytomous structure stated in Stefanutti et al. (2020) may not hold in general.

TL;DR: In this article , competence-based test development is introduced as a novel approach for developing tests for skill assessment, given a fixed collection of skills of interest in the disciplinary domain, the resulting tests are as informative as possible about individuals' competence states.

TL;DR: The authors found evidence that both visual encoding time (VET) before evidence accumulation and other non-decision time processes after or during evidence accumulation are influenced by spatial top-down attention.

TL;DR: In this article , a dual hurdle beta model is proposed to account for these inflations, and a Bayesian graphical analysis framework is provided that can be applied to future research on advice utilization.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors define generalized NaP-preferences, which are lattices of binary relations such that the satisfaction of transitivity and completeness is guided by the action of the universal and the existential quantifiers over a family of total preorders.

TL;DR: In this paper , the completeness of polytomous knowledge structures is defined by the property that such a poly-tomous KST is derived from a complete polytomos attribution.

TL;DR: In this article , it was shown that every system of binary probabilities satisfying the triangle inequalities is induced by a regular system of choice probabilities, which is the same as the one in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors provide important context and guidance on how to best prepare and present experimental findings for a military audience and provide simple approaches to convert inferential statistics and effect size information into data more readily appreciable by military end users.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide an analysis of how a rational agent with limited cognitive resources should approach this problem, considering not only how well a clustering fits the data but also how cognitively expensive it is to represent.

TL;DR: In this article , the psychological aspects of the secretary problem were discussed and an optimal policy was proposed for analyzing applicants up to a certain point in time (a threshold time) without selecting any of them and then selecting the next encountered candidate.

TL;DR: In this article , the complementary symmetry property was extended to arbitrary state-contingent real-valued outcomes, thus extending the domain of choice from risk to uncertainty/ambiguity and allowing for multiple outcomes.

TL;DR: The authors characterizes a general class of lexicographic preferences with a new set of axioms on the product topological space of attributes where each attribute is a topology space generated by a linear order.

TL;DR: The authors use conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) to examine optimal risk-sensitive choice and a form of optimal, risk sensitive offline planning, relating the former to both a justified form of the gambler's fallacy and extremely risk-avoidant behavior resembling that observed in anxiety disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper , a two-stage choice model is proposed, in which decision makers first filter out alternatives (consideration stage) before choosing their preferred alternative among the considered options (choice stage).

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present fundamental concepts and tools for developing analytic likelihood functions for the ACT-R cognitive architecture based on statistical concepts such as serial vs. parallel process, convolution, minimum/maximum processing time, and mixtures.

TL;DR: In this article , an extension of Wave Theory provides predictions of response probabilities from single direct measures of comparative difference, and the probability of correctly predicting individual binary choices between jobs, based on the students' generated measures of perceived stimulus difference, ranges to 1.00 from 0.935.

TL;DR: In this paper , a preference condition for the Goldstein-Einhorn probability weighting function was proposed. But the preference condition was not defined in terms of the axioms.

TL;DR: In this article , the complementary symmetry property of complementary symmetry has been shown to imply that the difference between the selling and buying prices of a binary prospect to win a binary game with probability p and receive y is the same as that of the complement of this prospect, y.
