Description:

This course covers reasoning, decision making, and behavioral game theory, which are major domains in human higher order cognition. For each topic, we start from normative theories, go through formal and mathematical models, and introduce empirical studies. The course emphasizes integrations of competing approaches within a domain, integration between reasoning and decision making, and integration between individual decision making and game-theoretic interactions. Each year, the course has a theme. The theme for this year is quantum cognition, which applies quantum theory in cognitive modeling. This course is designed as self-contained, and no pre-requirements. A middle term presentation and a final term paper are required for each student. Graduate students only.
