An Interdisciplinary Approach to Cognitive Modelling: A Framework Based on Philosophy and Modern Science

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Cognitive Modelling presents a new approach to cognition that challenges long-held views and adopts a COM approach to develop a mathematically equivalent model of the human mind. It provides a philosophically informed and empirically motivated mathematical model of cognition, particularly focusing on decision-making processes, and has applications in various social sciences.

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Cognitive Modelling presents a groundbreaking perspective on cognition that challenges longstanding beliefs. It systematically constructs a comprehensive framework to model cognition, which is mathematically equivalent to the emerging 'quantum-like modelling of the human mind.

The book argues that a satisfactory physical and philosophical foundation for such an approach is lacking, particularly in the application of quantization to the mind, for which there is currently no empirical evidence. In response to this challenge, the book adopts a COM (classical optical modelling) approach, which is broad-based but mathematically equivalent to quantum-like modelling while avoiding its problematic aspects. It presents a philosophically informed and empirically motivated mathematical model of cognition, primarily focusing on decision-making processes. Furthermore, it explores applications in various areas of the social sciences.

This book will be of immense interest to scholars and research students engaged in the mathematical modelling of cognition and decision-making, as well as interdisciplinary researchers interested in broader issues of cognition.
