Contemporary Issues in Decision Making

Part A: Decision structuring and knowledge based systems. Reflections on artificial intelligence (V.P. Zinchenko and A.I. Nazarov). Some propositions for the classification of decision situations (O. Svenson). Management decision inference: Structure identification supporting intellectual creativity (V.A. Chelnocov). Exact duplicates of human judgments (O.I. Larichev, A.I. Mechitov, V.K. Morgoev, H.M. Moshkovich and E.M. Furems). Symbolic reasoning for decision making (D.A. Clark, J. Fox, A.J. Glowinski and M.J. O'Neil). Knowledge organization studies through analysis of cognitive pattens (A.Yu. Terekhina). Part B: Descriptive models of individual decision making. Preference and Belief: Ambiguity and competence in choice under uncertainty (C. Heath and A. Tversky). Comparative choice and the advantage model (E.B. Shafir, D.N. Osherson and E.E. Smith). Preference judgments and choice: Is the prominence effect due to information integration or information evaluation? (H. Montgomery, T. Garling, E. Lindberg and M. Selart). Response modes and decision strategies (M.R.M. Westenberg and P. Koele). Decision making in free classification tasks: A psychological view (R.M. Frumkina). Influence diagrams and fault trees: The role of salience and anchoring (E.C.M. van Schie and J. van der Pligt).
