Can evolution get us off the hook? Evaluating the ecological defence of human rationality [PDF]
Consciousness and Cognition, 2015 This paper discusses the ecological case for epistemic innocence: does biased cognition have evolutionary benefits, and if so, does that exculpate human reasoners from irrationality?

ECOLOGICAL RATIONALITY BEYOND CYBERNETICS
Kybernetes, 1978Whereas analogical relations characterized preliterate rationality, logical connections mark literate reasoning. As we enter post‐literate cultures via instant electric media, cybernetic concepts that we have increasingly used to describe human individual and social behavior can no longer keep pace with today's reality; they are now superseded by the ...

Statistics, costs and rationality in ecological inference
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1992The so-called 'null hypothesis' debate in ecology opened a statistical Pandora's Box. Ecologists were forced to question whether or not decades of pattern analysis had been productive. Over the past few years, the debate has expanded beyond the role of different kinds of statistical hypothesis to include the importance of different types of statistical

State-dependent choice and ecological rationality
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2007Decision makers who minimize costly errors should flexibly adjust the way they trade off competing demands, depending on their current state. We explore how state (amount of hoarded food) affects willingness to take extra predation risk to obtain larger food rewards, particularly in animals that may overemphasize safety.

The Ecological Rationality of Situations
2019The study of situations involves asking how people behave in particular environmental settings, often in terms of their individual personality differences. The ecological rationality research program explains people’s behavior in terms of the specific decision-making tools they select and use from their mind’s adaptive toolbox when faced with specific ...

Concepts of Rationality in Management Research: From Unbounded Rationality to Ecological Rationality
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011This paper sketches important concepts of rationality. It concentrates on bounded rationality and provides descriptions of the heuristics and bias program and of the fast and frugal heuristics program by Gerd Gigerenzer and colleagues (Gigerenzer, 2002; Gigerenzer, Todd, & the ABC Research Group, 1999; Todd & Gigerenzer, 2000). One objective is to link

Trust and ecological rationality in a computing context
ACM SIGCAS Computers and Society, 2013In this paper, I examine a key issue affecting trust in the context of a computing environment, as it affects human agents and artificial agents. Specifically, the paper focuses on the role that "resource conservation" plays in an analysis of moral trust and epistemic trust involving agents.
