Concepts and their dynamics: A quantum‐theoretic modeling of human thought

D Aerts, L Gabora, S Sozzo - Topics in Cognitive science, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We analyze different aspects of our quantum modeling approach of human concepts and,
more specifically, focus on the quantum effects of contextuality, interference, entanglement …

A theory of concepts and their combinations I: The structure of the sets of contexts and properties

D Aerts, L Gabora - Kybernetes, 2005 - emerald.com
Purpose–To elaborate a theory for modeling concepts that incorporates how a context
influences the typicality of a single exemplar and the applicability of a single property of a …

Quantum structure in cognition: Why and how concepts are entangled

D Aerts, S Sozzo - Quantum Interaction: 5th International Symposium, QI …, 2011 - Springer
One of us has recently elaborated a theory for modelling concepts that uses the state context
property (SCoP) formalism, ie a generalization of the quantum formalism. This formalism …

Toward an ecological theory of concepts

L Gabora, E Rosch, D Aerts - Ecological Psychology, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
Psychology has had difficulty accounting for the creative, context-sensitive manner in which
concepts are used. We believe this stems from the view of concepts as identifiers rather than …

Quantum entanglement in concept combinations

D Aerts, S Sozzo - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2014 - Springer
Research in the application of quantum structures to cognitive science confirms that these
structures quite systematically appear in the dynamics of concepts and their combinations …

A case for applying an abstracted quantum formalism to cognition

D Aerts, J Broekaert, L Gabora - New ideas in psychology, 2011 - Elsevier
The contextual nature of experience suggests that in order to formally model it we should
look to the domain of science where contextuality has been most seriously addressed …

Quantum structure of negation and conjunction in human thought

D Aerts, S Sozzo, T Veloz - Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 - frontiersin.org
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

D Aerts, M Sassoli de Bianchi, S Sozzo, T Veloz - Foundations of Science, 2021 - Springer
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 …

Quantum theory and human perception of the macro-world

D Aerts - Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 - frontiersin.org
We investigate the question of 'why customary macroscopic entities appear to us humans as
they do, ie, as bounded entities occupying space and persisting through time', starting from …
