Gut Feelings Lib/E: The Intelligence of the Unconscious

Editura: TANTOR AUDIO

Anul aparitiei: 2021

Gerd Gigerenzer is one of the researchers of behavioral intuition responsible for the science behind Malcolm Gladwell's bestseller Blink. Gladwell showed us how snap decisions often yield better results than careful analysis. Now, Gigerenzer explains why our intuition is such a powerful decision-making tool. Drawing on a decade of research at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Gigerenzer demonstrates that our gut feelings are actually the result of unconscious mental processes--processes that apply rules of thumb that we've derived from our environment and prior experiences. The value of these unconscious rules lies precisely in their difference from rational analysis--they take into account only the most useful bits of information rather than attempting to evaluate all possible factors. By examining various decisions we make--how we choose a spouse, a stock, a medical procedure, or the answer to a million-dollar game show question--Gigerenzer shows how gut feelings not only lead to good practical decisions but also underlie the moral choices that make our society function. In the tradition of Blink and Freakonomics, Gut Feelings is an exploration of the myriad ...

Philosophie: Grundlagen Und Anwendungen /Philosophy: Foundations and Applications: Hauptvortr

Editura: MENTIS

Anul aparitiei: 2008

Das Verhältnis von Grundlagenforschung und anwendungsorientierter Forschung ist dabei, sich zu Ungunsten der Grundlagenforschung zu verschieben, und auch die Philosophie ist von diesem Wandel betroffen. Zum einen sind die Wissenschaften ein zentraler Gegenstand philosophischen Nachdenkens. Zum anderen wird auch von der philosophischen Grundlagenreflexion zunehmend erwartet, nicht bei grundlegenden Prinzipien inne zu halten, sondern bis zu den Anwendungsproblemen weiter zu denken. Als erste hat sich die philosophische Ethik für die Anwendungsprobleme geöffnet, steht doch neben der altehrwürdigen Moralphilosophie inzwischen die 'angewandte Ethik' hoch im Kurs. Der Trend hat jedoch bei der Ethik nicht Halt gemacht, sondern inzwischen auch andere wichtige Teildisziplinen der Philosophie erfasst, wie etwa die Wissenschaftstheorie oder die Philosophie des Geistes. ///// Ziel der Hauptvorträge und Kolloquiumsbeiträge der GAP.6 Konferenz war es, die Diskussion zum Verhältnis von Grundlagenreflexion und Anwendungen in den Naturwissenschaften, aber auch in der Psychologie und Ökonomie oder der öffentlichen Bildungs- und Wertedebatte voranzubringen. ///// Mit Beiträgen von: Dieter ...

Risk Savvy Lib/E: How to Make Good Decisions

Editura: TANTOR AUDIO

Anul aparitiei: 2020

An eye-opening look at the ways we misjudge risk every day and a guide to making better decisions with our money, health, and personal lives In the age of Big Data we often believe that our predictions about the future are better than ever before. But as risk expert Gerd Gigerenzer shows, the surprising truth is that in the real world, we often get better results by using simple rules and considering less information. In Risk Savvy , Gigerenzer reveals that most of us, including doctors, lawyers, financial advisers, and elected officials, misunderstand statistics much more often than we think, leaving us not only misinformed, but vulnerable to exploitation. Yet there is hope. Anyone can learn to make better decisions for their health, finances, family, and business without needing to consult an expert or a super computer, and Gigerenzer shows us how. Risk Savvy is an insightful and easy-to-understand remedy to our collective information overload and an essential guide to making smart, confident decisions in the face of uncertainty.

How to Stay Smart in a Smart World: Why Human Intelligence Still Beats Algorithms

Editura: MIT PR

Anul aparitiei: 2022

How to stay in charge in a world populated by algorithms that beat us in chess, find us romantic partners, and tell us to "turn right in 500 yards." Doomsday prophets of technology predict that robots will take over the world, leaving humans behind in the dust. Tech industry boosters think replacing people with software might make the world a better place--while tech industry critics warn darkly about surveillance capitalism. Despite their differing views of the future, they all agree: machines will soon do everything better than humans. In How to Stay Smart in a Smart World, Gerd Gigerenzer shows why that's not true, and tells us how we can stay in charge in a world populated by algorithms. Machines powered by artificial intelligence are good at some things (playing chess), but not others (life-and-death decisions, or anything involving uncertainty). Gigerenzer explains why algorithms often fail at finding us romantic partners (love is not chess), why self-driving cars fall prey to the Russian Tank Fallacy, and how judges and police rely increasingly on nontransparent "black box" algorithms to predict whether a criminal defendant will reoffend or show up in court. He invokes Black ...

Nudging

Editura: MIT PR

Anul aparitiei: 2022

How "nudges" by government can empower citizens without manipulating their preferences or exploiting their biases. We're all familiar with the idea of "nudging"--using behavioral mechanisms to encourage people to make certain choices--popularized by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein in their bestselling 2008 book Nudge. This approach, also known as "libertarian paternalism," goes beyond typical programs that simply provide information and incentives; nudges can range from automatic enrollment in a pension plan to flu-shot scheduling. In Nudging, Riccardo Viale explores the evolution of nudging and proposes new approaches that would empower citizens without manipulating them paternalistically. He shows that we can use the tools of the behavioral sciences without abandoning the principle of conscious decision-making. Viale discusses the work of Herbert Simon, Gerd Gigerenzer, Daniel Kahneman, and Amos Tversky that laid the foundation of behavioral economics, describes how policy makers have sought to help people avoid bad decisions, offers examples of effective nudging, and considers how to nudge the nudgers. How can we tell good nudges from bad nudges? Viale explains that good nudges ...

Heuristics in Open Innovation Activities. An Explorative Attitude Survey

Editura: GRIN VERLAG

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Fab Lab Region Nürnberg e.V.), language: English, abstract: In contemporary innovation management, companies increasingly dissolve their internal boundaries to leverage potentials from the outside world by creating synergies for the development of new technical solutions, for example through the reception of key incentives provided by lead users. Such processes of open innovation have remained relatively unexplored from the part of various authors and their theories on problem-solving. One such example serving as the basis for this thesis is the adaptive toolbox by Gerd Gigerenzer, focusing on individual behaviour under limited knowledge in a certain environment and cognitive mechanisms called heuristics, used daily by human beings to avoid or overcome complications. In this context, the centrepiece of this work is the answer to the question of which heuristics do individuals deploy in an open innovation environment and how these techniques can be categorized. Therefore, a qualitative attitude survey was ...

Models of a Man: Essays in Memory of Herbert A. Simon

Editura: MIT PR

Anul aparitiei: 2022

Essays that pay tribute to the wide-ranging influence of the late Herbert Simon, by friends and colleagues. Herbert Simon (1916-2001), in the course of a long and distinguished career in the social and behavioral sciences, made lasting contributions to many disciplines, including economics, psychology, computer science, and artificial intelligence. In 1978 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for his research into the decision-making process within economic organizations. His well-known book The Sciences of the Artificial addresses the implications of the decision-making and problem-solving processes for the social sciences. This book (the title is a variation on the title of Simon's autobiography, Models of My Life) is a collection of short essays, all original, by colleagues from many fields who felt Simon's influence and mourn his loss. Mixing reminiscence and analysis, the book represents "a small acknowledgment of a large debt." Each of the more than forty contributors was asked to write about the one work by Simon that he or she had found most influential. The editors then grouped the essays into four sections: "Modeling Man," "Organizations and Administration," ...

Statistics for Empowerment and Social Engagement: Teaching Civic Statistics to Develop Informed Citizens

Editura: SPRINGER NATURE

Anul aparitiei: 2023

"This book is a remarkable achievement" Gerd GigerenzerThis book offers practical approaches to working in a new field of knowledge - Civic Statistics - which sets out to engage with, and overcome well documented and long-standing problems in teaching quantitative skills. The book includes 23 peer-reviewed chapters, written in coordination by an international group of experts from ten countries. The book aims to support and enhance the work of teachers and lecturers working both at the high school and tertiary (university) levels. It is designed to promote and improve the critical understanding of quantitative evidence relevant to burning social issues - such as epidemics, climate change, poverty, migration, natural disasters, inequality, employment, and racism.Effective citizen engagement with social issues requires active participation and a broad understanding of data and statistics about societal issues. However, many statistics curricula are not designed to teach relevant skills nor to improve learners' statistical literacy. Evidence about social issues is provided to the public via print and digital media, official statistics offices, and other information channels, and a ...
