The theory of measurement, which provides rigorous methods for assigning numbers to and developing various numerically based mathematical structures for empirical phenomenon, has generated in the last twenty years many new fundamental ideas that are applicable to science -- particularly experimental sciences that use sophisticated mathematical models. This research exploits and extends these recent developments by (1) directly applying them to areas of behavioral science that employ formal models of human judgment and decision, and (2) by developing new methods of measurement and new mathematical models that take into account empirical facts that contradict important, widely applied models of judgment and decision. Because of the wide use by the military, the government, and business of complicated decision strategies that have human judgments and the results of human decisions as inputs, the results of this research are expected to provide a basis for improving such decision strategies.

测量理论为为经验现象赋予数字和发展各种基于数字的数学结构提供了严格的方法，在过去的二十年里产生了许多适用于科学--特别是使用复杂数学模型的实验科学--的新的基本思想。这项研究利用并扩展了这些最新的发展，(1)直接将它们应用于使用人类判断和决策的正式模型的行为科学领域，以及(2)通过开发新的测量方法和新的数学模型，这些新的测量方法和新的数学模型考虑了与重要的、广泛应用的判断和决策模型相矛盾的经验事实。由于军事、政府和企业广泛使用以人的判断和人的决策结果为输入的复杂决策策略，本研究成果有望为改进此类决策策略提供依据。
