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.
