Analogy in decision-making, social interaction, and emergent rationality
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (2):167-168 (2003)
Abstract
Colman's reformulation of rational theory is challenged in two ways. Analogy-making is suggested as a possible candidate for an underlying and unifying cognitive mechanism of decision-making, one which can explain some of the paradoxes of rationality. A broader framework is proposed in which rationality is considered as an emerging property of analogy-based behavior.My notes
