It also offers insights from other fields such as artificial intelligence, economics, the social sciences, and cognitive neuroscience. The Handbook proposes a novel classification system for researchers in human rationality, and it creates new connections between rationality research in philosophy, psychology, and other disciplines. Following the basic distinction between theoretical and practical rationality, the book first considers the theoretical side, including normative and descriptive theories of logical, probabilistic, causal, and defeasible reasoning.
It then turns to the practical side, discussing topics such as decision making, bounded rationality, game theory, deontic and legal reasoning, and the relation between rationality and morality.
Finally, it covers topics that arise in both theoretical and practical rationality, including visual and spatial thinking, scientific rationality, how children learn to reason rationally, and the connection between intelligence and rationality.
It will help its readers to better understand investing. The book is structured in two parts. Part I introduces the student into fundamental principles of portfolio theory and investment analysis, such as the Markowitz portfolio selection approach, factor models, basic evaluation techniques and portfolio management.
Part II extends the material to more advanced topics and focuses on inefficient markets, including topics including technical analysis and momentum effects, behavioural finance, bubbles and herding, portfolio management in inefficient markets and market microstructure. Maintains a truly global focus on the field with top international contributors exploring research and practice from around the world Offers researchers and professionals essential information for building a talented organization, a critical and challenging task for organizational success in the 21st century Covers a diverse range of topics, including needs analysis, job design, active learning, self-regulation, simulation approaches, degree feedback, and virtual learning environments.
Author : Kieran C. It may be surprising that the seemingly straightforward answers "from the mind" or "from the brain" are in fact an incredibly recent understanding of the origins of spontaneous thought. For nearly all of human history, our thoughts - especially the most sudden, insightful, and important - were almost universally ascribed to divine or other external sources.
Only in the past few centuries have we truly taken responsibility for their own mental content, and finally localized thought to the central nervous system - laying the foundations for a protoscience of spontaneous thought. But enormous questions still loom: what, exactly, is spontaneous thought? Why does our brain engage in spontaneous forms of thinking, and when is this most likely to occur? And perhaps the question most interesting and accessible from a scientific perspective: how does the brain generate and evaluate its own spontaneous creations?
Hammond, University of Colorado at Boulder "This spelendid collection by Koehler and Harvey is a timely state-of-the-art report on Judgment and Decision Making JDM and provides a good demonstration of the great strides that have been made in thie area over the past 50 or so years. In short, for anyone who wants to know exactly where JDM research is currently at, this book is essential reading. This comprehensive and authoritative handbook will serve as a valuable text and reference for students, scholars, and decision makers.
What I like so much about this book is that so many of the chapters are written by young scholars with fresh perspectives and new ideas. This Handbook is a great place for graduate students to find out where the frontiers of the field are now, and who are the researchers that are making the field so exciting. Thaler, University of Chicago "This is the first book to give a complete overview of this field, which has been developing since the s.
The first part details normative approaches and includes discussions of bounded rationality and computational models of decision making. The next two parts focus respectively on judgements and decisions while the last part examines practical applications.
Topics range over hypothesis testing, the challenges of uncertainty and complexity, the role of feelings in decision making, the influence of culture and even the psychology of medical decision making.

From the Back Cover The Blackwell Handbook of Judgment and Decision Making is a state-of-the art overview of current topics and research in the study of how people make evaluations, draw inferences, and make decisions under conditions of uncertainty and conflict. Chapters are contributed by experts in the field from various disciplines such as psychology, cognitive science, business, and law.
The selection of topics reflects current trends and controversies in judgment and decision-making research. Each chapter provides an overview of important past research and a report on current research and future directions in various areas in the study of human judgment and decision making.
The book: provides a glimpse at the many approaches that have been taken in the study of judgment and decision making, including bounded rationality, computational modelling, and the heuristics and biases approach portrays the major findings in the field and covers topics such as probablistic reasoning, hypothesis testing, multiattribute choice, and decision making under risk and uncertainty presents examinations of the broader roles of social, emotional, and cultural influences on decision making explores applications of judgment and decision-making research to important problems in a variety of professional contexts, including finance, accounting, medicine, public policy, and the law.
Review Quotes Highly recommended. Hammond, University of Colorado at Boulder This spelendid collection by Koehler and Harvey is a timely state-of-the-art report on Judgment and Decision Making JDM and provides a good demonstration of the great strides that have been made in thie area over the past 50 or so years. Applied Cognitive Psychology The Handbook shows the realization of Ward Edwards's original dream of a field made exciting by the continual interplay between normative analyses, descriptive research, and prescriptive interventions, bridging critical gaps between the normative ideal and descriptive reality.
Baruch Fischhoff, Carnegie Mellon University and President of Society for Risk Analysis Fifty years of research have created an impressive body of knowledge and theory about human judgment and decision making. Paul Slovic, University of Oregon and President of Decision Research Institute "Judgment and decision making is hot, and a handbook comes at just the right time.
