Note Node Amos is a dominant figure in cognitive psychology and behavioral decision theory. Three research int erests dominate Amos's published output: cognitive illusions, decision making, and the foundations of measurement. A very crude count of papers I felt I could categorize from memory or title yielded counts of 50, 38, and 25 for these three topics. url anchor
