Systematic rationality norms provide research roadmaps and clarity
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 34 (5):263-264 (2011)
Abstract
Normative theories like probability logic provide roadmaps for psychological investigations. They make theorizing precise. Therefore, normative considerations should not be subtracted from psychological research. I explain why conditional elimination inferences involve at least two norm paradigms; why reporting agreement with rationality norms is informative; why alleged asymmetric relations between formal and psychological theories are symmetric; and I discuss the arbitration problem.Author's Profile
