Title: Incorporating Episodic Memory into Quantum Models of Judgment and Decision

Journal: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A

DOI: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2505.21521

Abstract

 An important challenge for quantum theories of cognition and decision concerns the incorporation of memory for recently made judgments and their effects on later judgments. First, we review a general approach to measurement based on system plus environment representations of states and measurement instruments. These more general measurement models provide ways to incorporate effects of recent judgments on later judgments.  Then we compare three different measurement models that are based on these more general measurement operations to a puzzling collection of question order effect findings.
