## TL;DR

This paper introduces a quantum-inspired cognitive architecture for decision-making that captures complex cognitive phenomena and biases without heavy reliance on heuristics or assumptions about mental resources.

## Contribution

It presents a novel quantum-like framework for decision-making that generalizes classical models and explains cognitive biases more effectively.

## Key findings

- Successfully models cognitive biases without heuristics
- Provides a unified quantum-inspired decision framework
- Predicts a wider range of cognitive phenomena

## Abstract

We propose an alternative and unifying framework for decision-making that, by using quantum mechanics, provides more generalised cognitive and decision models with the ability to represent more information than classical models. This framework can accommodate and predict several cognitive biases reported in Lieder & Griffiths without heavy reliance on heuristics nor on assumptions of the computational resources of the mind.
