A Comparison-based Architecture for Choice

摘要马克曼，亚瑟哥伦比亚大学SBR-9510924国际和平研究所已根据教师早期职业发展计划(CALEAR)提交了这项建议。他提出了关于决策的十项研究。该研究项目的概念基础是基于比较的选择架构(COBAC)。该模型的核心原理是基于属于各种选择选项的特征的可对准性。决策者更多地使用可对齐的特征，而不是不可对齐的特征。此外，决策者将试图将后者转变为前者。其中一些研究将使用有声思考和其他过程跟踪方法。PI还将研究目标在选择行为中的重要性。最后，将根据这些研究的结果构建一个计算模型。教育计划包括派·S参与开发计算机辅助教学和修订他所在机构的统计/实验设计课程。

ABSTRACT Markman, Arthur Columbia University SBR-9510924 The PI has submitted this proposal under the Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER). He proposes ten studies on decision making. The conceptual underpinning for this research program is comparison-based architecture for choice (COBAC). The central principles of this model are predicated on the alignability of the features belonging to various choice options. Decision makers make more use of alignable than non-alignable features. Furthermore decision makers will attempt to convert the latter into the former. Some of the studies will use think-aloud and other process-tracing methodologies. The PI will also examine the importance of goals in choice behavior. Finally, a computational model will be constructed on the basis of the results of these studies. The educational plan involves the PI s participation both in the development of computer-assisted instruction and in the revision of the statistics/experimental design curricula in his home institution.
