Quantum structure of negation and conjunction in human thought
We analyze in this paper the data collected in a set of experiments investigating how people
combine natural concepts. We study the mutual influence of conceptual conjunction and …

Modeling human decision-making: An overview of the Brussels quantum approach
We present the fundamentals of the quantum theoretical approach we have developed in
the last decade to model cognitive phenomena that resisted modeling by means of classical …

Are words the quanta of human language? Extending the domain of quantum cognition
D Aerts, L Beltran - Entropy, 2021 - mdpi.com
In previous research, we showed that 'texts that tell a story'exhibit a statistical structure that is
not Maxwell–Boltzmann but Bose–Einstein. Our explanation is that this is due to the …

Generalizing prototype theory: A formal quantum framework
Theories of natural language and concepts have been unable to model the flexibility,
creativity, context-dependence, and emergence, exhibited by words, concepts and their …

New fundamental evidence of non-classical structure in the combination of natural concepts
We recently performed cognitive experiments on conjunctions and negations of two
concepts with the aim of investigating the combination problem of concepts. Our …

Statistical and subjective interpretations of probability in quantum-like models of cognition and decision making
The paper starts with an introduction to the basic mathematical model of classical probability
(CP), ie the Kolmogorov (1933) measure-theoretic model. Its two basic interpretations are …

Quantum structure in cognition: Human language as a boson gas of entangled words
D Aerts, L Beltran - Foundations of Science, 2020 - Springer
We model a piece of text of human language telling a story by means of the quantum
structure describing a Bose gas in a state close to a Bose–Einstein condensate near …

Spin and wind directions I: Identifying entanglement in nature and cognition
We present a cognitive psychology experiment where participants were asked to select pairs
of spatial directions that they considered to be the best example of Two different wind …

A proposal to extend expected utility in a quantum probabilistic framework
Expected utility theory (EUT) is widely used in economic theory. However, its subjective
probability formulation, first elaborated by Savage, is linked to Ellsberg-like paradoxes and …

Instability of political preferences and the role of mass media: a dynamical representation in a quantum framework
We search to devise a new paradigm borrowed from concepts and mathematical tools of
quantum physics, to model the decision-making process of the US electorate. The statistical …
