Quantum probability and conceptual combination in conjunctions
Hampton, J. A. (2013). Quantum probability and conceptual combination in conjunctions. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 36(3), pp. 290-291. doi: 10.1017/s0140525x12002981
Abstract
I consider the general problem of category conjunctions in the light of Pothos & Busemeyer (P&B)'s quantum probability (QP) account of the conjunction fallacy. I argue that their account as presented cannot capture the "guppy effect" - the case in which a class is a better member of a conjunction A^B than it is of either A or B alone.
