Abstract

In this chapter we look at three main areas in which quantum theory has beenapplied to understanding human cognition: the modelling of similarityjudgements; the modelling of decision making; and the modelling ofcategorisation and concept combination. We summarize the cognitive phenomenathat have been described by quantum theory. We describe how quantum theory hasbeen used to address each of these phenomena, as well as discussingquantum-theoretic approaches to modelling neuronal-level phenomena. Finally, wediscuss the implications for using quantum computing to model cognitivephenomena and artificial intelligence more generally.
