The target article uses a mathematical framework derived from Bayesian decision making to demonstrate suboptimal decision making but then attributes psychological reality to the framework components. Rahnev & Denison's (R&D) positive proposal thus risks ignoring plausible psychological theories that could implement complex perceptual decision making. We must be careful not to slide from success with an analytical tool to the reality of the tool components.
目标文章使用源自贝叶斯决策的数学框架来展示次优决策,但随后又将心理现实归因于框架组件。因此,Rahnev 和 Denison(R&D)的积极建议有可能忽略了可以实现复杂感知决策的合理心理理论。我们必须小心,不要从分析工具的成功滑向工具组件的现实。
