Studies in Probabilistic Information Processing

Richard J. Kaplan, J. R. Newman · IEEE Transactions on Human Factors in Electronics · 1966

This paper outlines a theory of Probabilistic Information Processing and describes three experimental studies testing that theory. The theory is based on certain principles of Bayesian statistical decision theory and is designed as an aid to human diagnostic decision-making. The experiments were concerned with certain types of military diagnostic decisions.
