Incorporating episodic memory into quantum models of judgement and decision
An important challenge for quantum theories of cognition and decision concerns the incorporation of memory for recently made judgements and their effects on later judgements. First, we review a general approach to measurement based on system plus environment representations of states and measurement instruments. These more general measurement models provide ways to incorporate the effects of recent judgements on later judgements. Then we compare three different measurement models that are based on these more general measurement operations to account for a puzzling collection of question order effect findings.This article is part of the theme issue 'Quantum theory and topology in models of decision making (Part 1)'.
