The adaptive nature of impulsivity. (2010, background): “Todd and Gigerenzer (2000) defined ecological rationality as “adaptive behavior resulting from the fit between the mind’s mechanisms and the structure of the environment in which it operates” (p. 728).”
Bounding rationality to the world (2003, background): “1 In other words, humans exhibit ecological rationality (Gigerenzer, Todd, & the ABC Research Group, 1999; Todd & Gigerenzer, 2000; Todd, Fiddick, & Krauss, 2000) – making good decisions with mental mechanisms whose internal structure can exploit the external information structures available in the…”
Probability Matching as a Computational Strategy Used in Perception (2010, background): “Also in our study, subjects had to make sequential reports of both modalities requiring responses to be held in working memory, which has been suggested to have a role in the decision process [19,32,44].”
The Rationality Debate: Application of Cognitive Psychology to Mathematics Education (2006, neutral): “2002; Kahneman, 2002; Gigerenzer and Todd, 1999; Todd and Gigerenzer, 2000; Stanovich and West, 2000, 2003).”
You can’t always get what you want: The motivational effect of need on risk-sensitive decision-making. (2010, background): “This pattern of decision-making is known as satisficing, whereby decision-makers encounter and evaluate options until they happen upon an option that meets their need (Simon, 1956; Todd & Gigerenzer, 2000).”
Behavioral mechanisms of collective nest-site choice by the ant Temnothorax curvispinosus (2005, background): “These preferences do not result from mere satisfi cing, i.e. taking without prejudice the fi rst candidate site that exceeds a threshold quality (Todd and Gigerenzer, 2000).”
Striking a Blow for Sanity in Theories of Rationality (2004, background): “We start, in contrast, from the empirically rooted knowledge about the human mind and its capabilities ( Todd & Gigerenzer, 2000 ).”
The role of intuitive heuristics in students' thinking: Ranking chemical substances (2010, methodology): “The ORDM heuristic is often used in conjunction with simple stopping rules that help determine when to stop the search and how to make a final decision (Todd & Gigerenzer, 2000).”
Rationality and Psychology in International Politics (2005, background): “…et al+ 1999; Krueger 1998; Funder 1987; and Krueger and Funder forthcoming+ See the response by Kahneman and Tversky 1996; and the open peer commentary to Todd and Gigerenzer 2000+ mistaken judgment+ Analysts can attribute bad decisions to the need for cognitive consistency, improper…”
Economic irrationality is optimal during noisy decision making (2016, result): “S2B), indicating that the tendency to discount losing values does not decrease when more information (samples) is available, contrary to the predictions of heuristic models (26).”
What Does It Mean to be Biased: Motivated Reasoning and Rationality (2014, background): “…Heuristics and Biases program on the one hand, and Gigerenzer and colleagues subsequent search for “simple heuristics that make us smart” (e.g., Todd & Gigerenzer, 2000) on the other— can thus, through a difference in emphasis, come to seemingly strongly conflicting perspectives (see e.g.,…”
