Values and preferences: defining preference construction

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2010
AbstractExtensive research in the values and preferences literature suggests that preferences are sensitive to context and calculated at the time of choice. This has led to the view that preferences are constructed. Recent work calls for a better understanding of when preferences are constructed and when they are not. We contend that the answer to this

Hand Preference, Sexual Preference, and Transsexualism

Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2001
Atypical handedness patterns, i.e., persons being less exclusively right-handed, have been found previously in large samples of male and female homosexuals and in small samples of male and female transsexuals compared to controls. The posited role of prenatal androgen influencing both cerebral hemispheric dominance and psychosexual development warrants

Preference and Preference Structure

2021
This chapter presents the formal aspects of decision making and introduce a set-theoretic representation of preferences to give a formal definition of the best decisions. In this chapter, we first present a conceptual framework for the phenomenon of decision making, and then use set theory to provide a more rigorous discussion.

Mining the Preference Relations and Preference Graphs

2001

Maintaining Preference Networks That Adapt to Changing Preferences

2013
Decision making can be more difficult with an enormous amount of information, not only for humans but also for automated decision making processes. Although most user preference elicitation models have been developed based on the assumption that user preferences are stable, user preferences may change in the long term and may evolve with experience ...

Preferences and preference functions

2003
Chapter 2 treats totally ordered sets and gives representation theorems. Similar theorems for just relations — not assumed to be total — are trivial, but are convenient to have, because the main results in this book give conditions for particular additive representation.

Temporal Preferences

2011 Eighteenth International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning, 2011
While many frameworks for reasoning about time rely on the assumption that, as along as precedences are respected and there are no overlapping activities, any available time is just as good, all of us know that that is really not true! All of us would prefer avoiding heavy meetings right after lunch, waiting for connecting flights for endless hours or ...
