Why Bayesian brains perform poorly on explicit probabilistic reasoning problems

Abstract excerpt

<p>There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the neural processes underlying perception, learning, and decision-making approximate Bayesian inference. Yet, humans perform poorly when asked to solve explicit probabilistic reasoning problems. In response, some have argued that certain brain processes are Bayesian while others are not; others have argued that reasoning errors can be explained by either inac...
