The Nature and Reality of Representational Decision Making
The Nature and Reality of Representational Decision Making
The chapter first makes clearer how the difference between representational and non-representational decision making is to be understood. It then provides more precise characterizations of “reflexive,” non-representational decision making and of representational decision making. Next, it supports the reality of representational decision making by appeal to a wide range of literatures from a number of different disciplines. The chapter ends by bringing out several widely accepted features of representational decision making.
Keywords: mental representation, representational decision making, reflexive decision making, cognitive psychology, cognitive ethology, cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology
