Behavioral and Brain Sciences Cognitive Architectures Combine Formal and Heuristic Approaches Powered by Editorial Manager® and Preprint Manager® from Aries Systems Corporation

Quantum Probability (QP) Theory provides an alternative account of empirical phenomena in decision making that Classical Probability (CP) cannot explain. Cognitive architectures combine probabilistic mechanisms with symbolic knowledgebased representations (e.g., heuristics) to address effects that motivate QP. They provide simple and natural explanations of these phenomena based on general cognitive processes such as memory retrieval, similarity-based partial matching, and associative learning.
