Probabilistic Lattices ─ With Applications to Psychology

Narens presents alternative forms of probability theory for philosophic and scientific application, emphasizing understanding the limits of natural generalizations of standard probability theory, the relationship of these generalizations to logic, and their applications to behavioral science and other sciences. He pays little attention to classical issues in the logic of deduction and completeness, or to methods of probabilistic inference and probabilistic laws. His topics are basic lattice theory; pseudo complemented distribution lattices; probability and coherence; rationality, heuristics, and human judgments of probability; and the orthomodular modeling of psychological paradigms.
