{"product_id":"preference-belief-and-similarity-amos-tversky-9780262700931","title":"Preference, Belief, and Similarity: Selected Writings","description":"Amos Tversky (1937-1996), a towering figure in cognitive and mathematical psychology, devoted his professional life to the study of similarity, judgment, and decision making. He had a unique ability to master the technicalities of normative ideals and then to intuit and demonstrate experimentally their systematic violation due to the vagaries and consequences of human information processing. He created new areas of study and helped transform disciplines as varied as economics, law, medicine, political science, philosophy, and statistics. This book collects forty of Tversky's articles, selected by him in collaboration with the editor during the last months of Tversky's life. It is divided into three sections: Similarity, Judgment, and Preferences. The Preferences section is subdivided into Probabilistic Models of Choice, Choice under Risk and Uncertainty, and Contingent Preferences. Included are several articles written with his frequent collaborator, Nobel Prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amos Tversky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 026270093X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262700931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 7.00w x 1.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2005 pg. 36","brand":"Amos Tversky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078090780927,"sku":"9780262700931","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3085a416-e14d-4e90-b121-ed51992fd9d0.jpg?v=1685473491","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/preference-belief-and-similarity-amos-tversky-9780262700931","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
