Limits in decision making arise from limits in memory retrieval.
Some decisions, such as predicting the winner of a baseball game, are challenging in part because outcomes are probabilistic. When making such decisions, one view is that humans stochastically and selectively retrieve a small set of relevant memories that provides evidence for competing options. We show that optimal performance at test is impossible when retrieving information in this fashion, ...
متن کاملAttentional limits in memory retrieval.
The hypothesis that episodic memory retrieval can occur in parallel with other cognitive processes was tested in 2 experiments. Participants memorized words and then performed speeded cued recall (Experiment 1) or speeded yes-no recognition (Experiment 2) in a dual-task situation. The psychological refractory period design was used: The participant was presented with a single test item at vario...
متن کاملLimits in modified categories of interest
We firstly prove the completeness of the category of crossed modules in a modified category of interest. Afterwards, we define pullback crossed modules and pullback cat objects that are both obtained by pullback diagrams with extra structures on certain arrows. These constructions unify many corresponding results for the cases of groups, commutative algebras and can also be adapted to ...
متن کاملTalks Fundamental limits on information retrieval from long - term memory
Welcome to the fifth annual Cambridge Memory Meeting, hosted by the Computational Learning and Memory Group from the Department of Engineering. The goal of this meeting is to encourage interaction between Cambridge researchers specialising in the neuroscience or psychology of learning and memory at a preclinical or clinical level. This meeting provides principle investigators, postdoctoral re...
متن کاملEthical dilemmas in decision making at limits of neonatal viability
The survival rate for extremely preterm infants has improved over the last two decades. Although the incidence of such births is about 2%, the impact of preterm birth on these infants, their families, health-care providers, and society is profound. The birth of an extremely low birth weight (ELBW) and early gestational age infant poses complex medical, social, and ethical challenges to the fami...
