Modelling the human mental lexicon using the formalism of quantum theory

(2019) Modelling the human mental lexicon using the formalism of quantum theory. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Quantum cognition (QC) is a new interdisciplinary research field which applies the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics to explain and understand puzzling aspects of cognitive phenomena. This study focuses on improving the current QC models of language and memory. The researcher provides a better understanding of measurement and contextuality in processes involving language and memory. This will impact upon the field of QC, strengthening its position as a well-founded branch of mathematical psychology.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
