Theories of dual cognition assume two distinguishable information processing styles: rational and intuitive. We discuss how the concepts of rationality and intuition are used in these theories, and the relations of these two thinking styles to personality characteristics. With the Rational-Experiential Inventory (REI; Pacini & Epstein, 1999), a questionnaire that assesses personal preferences f...

Based on two popular theoretical frameworks regarding media choices of rational choice and social influence (Markus 1987; Trevino et al. 2000) the main theme of this paper is to investigate applicability of these frameworks on a case where the pattern in usage and collective meaning of a medium is shaped in the cultural context. Focusing on the phenomenon of many Asians preferring not to send e...

We construct Quillen equivalences on the Quillen model categories of rings, modules and algebras over Z-graded chain complexes and HZ-module spectra. A Quillen equivalence of Quillen model categories is the most highly structured notion of equivalence between homotopy theories. We use these equivalences in turn to produce algebraic models for rational stable model categories.

We examine general aspects of parity functions arising in rational conformal eld theories, as a result of Galois theoretic properties of modular transformations. We focus more speci cally on parity functions associated with a ne Lie algebras, for which we give two e cient formulas. We investigate the consequences of these for the modular invariance problem. a Chercheur Quali e FNRS

In modern cognitive science, rationality and intelligence are measured using different tasks and operations. Furthermore, in several contemporary dual process theories of cognition, rationality is a more encompassing construct than intelligence. Researchers need to continue to develop measures of rational thought without regard to empirical correlations with intelligence. The measurement of ind...

This review examines recent developments during the past 5 years in the field of judgment and decision making, written in the form of a list of 16 research problems. Many of the problems involve natural extensions of traditional, originally rational, theories of decision making. Others are derived from descriptive algebraic modeling approaches or from recent developments in cognitive psychology...

We examine general aspects of parity functions arising in rational conformal eld theories, as a result of Galois theoretic properties of modular transformations. We focus more speciically on parity functions associated with aane Lie algebras, for which we give two eecient formulas. We investigate the consequences of these for the modular invariance problem.

Logic and philosophy of science share a long history, though contacts have gone through ups and downs. This paper is a brief survey of some major themes in logical studies of empirical theories, including links to computer science and current studies of rational agency. The survey has no new results: we just try to make some things into common knowledge.

While logical theories of information attitudes, such as knowledge, certainty and belief, have flourished in the past two decades, formalization of other facets of rational behavior have lagged behind significantly. One intriguing line of research concerns the concept of intention. I will discuss one approach to tackling the notion within a logical framework, based on a database perspective.

We propose a contour integral representation for the one-point correlators at genus one of the primaries of a family of rational logarithmic conformal field theories. Report No: HRI-P-08-10-001 ∗On leave of absence from the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad, India. 1
