【 摘 要 】

Researchers have been interested in how human beings accumulate and process information for decision-making since the development of experimental psychology in the late nineteenth century and then its renaissance in cognitive science in the 1960s. Whereas psychometrics and test theory, which also got their start in the nineteenth century have made individual differences the foundation of their fields, the study of cognitive processes has traditionally, and over many decades, assumed that the manner in which information is processed for decision-making is invariant across individuals given a particular experimental context.
