Quantum Structure in Cognition
TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the use of the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics as a modeling instrument and proposed a general mathematical modeling scheme for the combinations of concepts, pointing out that quantum mechanics are at the origin of specific effects in cognition related to concept combinations, such as the guppy effect and the overextension and underextension of membership weights of items.About:

Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision
Jerome R. Busemeyer,Peter Bruza +1 more
TL;DR: The foundations for modelling probabilistic-dynamic systems using two aspects of quantum theory, 'contextuality' and 'quantum entanglement', are introduced, which allow cognitive phenomena to be modeled in non-reductionist ways.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Quantum Theoretical Explanation for Probability Judgment Errors.
TL;DR: It is concluded that quantum information-processing principles provide a viable and promising new way to understand human judgment and reasoning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can quantum probability provide a new direction for cognitive modeling
TL;DR: The thesis is that quantum probability theory provides a more accurate and powerful account of certain cognitive processes than classical probability theory, and this work discusses ways in which QP and CP theories converge.

Concepts and Their Dynamics: A Quantum‐Theoretic Modeling of Human Thought
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze different aspects of quantum modeling approach of human concepts and focus on the quantum effects of contextuality, interference, entanglement, and emergence, illustrating how each of them makes its appearance in specific situations of the dynamics of human concept and their combinations and point out the relation of their approach, which is based on an ontology of a concept as an entity in a state changing under influence of a context.

A Quantum Question Order Model Supported by Empirical Tests of an A Priori and Precise Prediction
Zheng Wang,Jerome R. Busemeyer +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that quantum probability theory, initially invented to explain order effects on measurements in physics, appears to be a powerful natural explanation for order effects of self-report measures in social and behavioral sciences, too.

Fuzzy sets
TL;DR: A separation theorem for convex fuzzy sets is proved without requiring that the fuzzy sets be disjoint.

Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases
Amos Tversky,Daniel Kahneman +1 more
TL;DR: The authors described three heuristics that are employed in making judgements under uncertainty: representativeness, availability of instances or scenarios, and adjustment from an anchor, which is usually employed in numerical prediction when a relevant value is available.

Indexing by Latent Semantic Analysis
TL;DR: A new method for automatic indexing and retrieval to take advantage of implicit higher-order structure in the association of terms with documents (“semantic structure”) in order to improve the detection of relevant documents on the basis of terms found in queries.
Book
Acts of meaning
TL;DR: Jerome Bruner argues that the cognitive revolution has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings, and only by breaking out of the limitations imposed by a computational model of mind can be grasped.
