Reading this text on the application of game theory to two-sided matching problems, I relived an experience shared by many readers of this journal-the process known as &dquo;resident match.&dquo; At a prescribed moment, over 90 % of sen-ior medical students frantically tear open an envelope

thoughts, like percepts, are highly accessible. Determinants and consequences of accessibility help explain the central results of prospect theory, framing effects, the heuristic process of attribute substitution, and the characteristic biases that result from the substitution of nonextensional

Cognitive-experiential self-theory integrates the cognitive and the psychodynamic unconscious by assuming the ex-istence of two parallel, interacting modes of information processing: a rational system and an emotionally driven experiential system. Support for the theory is provided

To survive in a world where knowledge is limited, time is pressing, and deep thought is often an unattainable luxury, decision-makers must use bounded rationality. In this precis of Simple heuristics that make us smart, we explore fast and frugal heuristics—simple rules for making decisions

In this paper, we attempt to invent a new way to understand risk, measure it, and weigh its consequences. We attempt to design a rational process for risk-taking; a process that gives the system dynamicist the ability to define what may happen in the future and then to choose among alternatives

calculus is a higher-order polyadic process algebra with a utility (cost) integrating deliberative and reactive approaches for action selection in real time, and allowing to capture bounded optimization and metaresoning in distributed interactive AI systems. In this paper we present basic notions

This article describes a 2-systems model that explains social behavior as a joint function of reflective and impulsive processes. In particular, it is assumed that social behavior is controlled by 2 interacting systems that follow different operating principles. The reflective system generates

much of this knowledge is used while people are processing sentences? We conduct a sentence production experiment and an on-line reading experiment in order to answer these ques-tions. Both experiments provide evidence that syntactic knowl-edge can drive top-down reinterpretations of word identities

When we set out to revise the decade-old survey of eyewitness experts (Kassin, Ellsworth, & Smith, 1989), we did so for the explicit purpose of updating prior estimates of expert opinion so as to “encourage expert testimony that more accurately reflects the consensus of opinions within the scientific community ” (Kassin, Tubb, Hosch, & Me-mon, May 2001, p. 405). The goal was not to weigh in on the “primal ” question, long ago debated (see, e.g., Loftus, 1983; McCloskey & Egeth, 1983), of whether psychologists should testify—a question that American courts are increasingly settling in favor of such intervention—but rather to address the
