Ecological Rationality: Intelligence in the World
Todd, Peter M. (, Professor Cognitive Science, Informatics, and Psychology at Indiana University, USA)
In this book, the authors argue that in an uncertain world, more information and computation are not always better, and we ask when, and why, less can be more. The answers to these questions constitute the idea of ecological rationality: how we are able to achieve intelligence in the world by using simple heuristics matched to the environments we face, exploiting the structures inherent in our physical, biological, social, and cultural surroundings.
