认知科学和经济学具有极大的潜在相关性 ,这不仅表现在它试图解释人们如何学习 ,如何把信念和偏好结合在一起以做出决定 ,并由此做以经济理论赖以为基的选择 ,而且体现在人们面对纯粹的不确定性时如何和为何发展理论 ,什么使得那些理论在人们中广为传播或者逐渐消失 ,还有 ,人们为什么相信它们并据此行事。在本文中 ,将探讨这些问题 ,希望认知科学可以给我们一些明确的答案 ,这些答案当有助于经济学和社会科学中的大的突破。经济理论是建立在关于人类行为的假设基础上的 ,这些假设具体体现在理性选择论中。构成这些假设的基础的 ,是关于心智如何运作的含蓄观念。直到近来 ,经济学家一直没有自觉地检视这些含蓄观念 ,但是经济学特别是博弈论近来的研究迫使经济学家探讨信念———这些信念作为经济选择的基础 ,在认知科学和经济学之间架起了桥梁———的来源。本文中 ,还探讨导向认知科学的经济推论之途 There is a great potential for relevance between cognitive science and economics, not only in its attempt to explain how people learn, how to combine beliefs and preferences in making decisions, and thus make choices based on economic theory , But also how and why the theory develops when people face pure uncertainty and what makes those theories widely known or disappearing among people and why people believe in them and behave accordingly. In this article, we will explore these issues and hope that cognitive science can give us some clear answers that should help make a big breakthrough in economics and social sciences. Economic theory is based on assumptions about human behavior, and these hypotheses are embodied in rational choice theory. The basis for these hypotheses is the implicit idea of ​​how minds work. Until recently, economists had never consciously examined these implicit ideas, but recent research in economics, particularly game theory, has forced economists to explore beliefs that serve as the basis for economic choices in cognitive science and economics Between the framework of a bridge --- the source. In this article, we also explore the ways in which economic reasoning leads to cognitive science
