Spin and Wind Directions II: A Bell State Quantum Model Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the first half of this two-part article (Aerts et al. in Found Sci. doi:10.1007/s10699-017-9528-9, 2017b), we analyzed a cognitive psychology experiment where participants were asked to select pairs of directions that they considered to be the best example of Two Different Wind Directions, and showed that the data violate the CHSH version of Bell’s inequality, with same magnitude as in typical Bell-test experiments in physics. In this ...

The extended Bloch Representation of Entanglement and Measurement in Quantum Mechanics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The quantum formalism can be completed by assuming that density operators also represent genuine states. An ‘extended Bloch representation’ (EBR) then results, in which not only the states but also the measurement-interactions can be described. Consequently, the Born rule can be obtained as an expression that quantifies the lack of knowledge about the measurement-interaction that is each time actualized, during a measurement. Entanglement can ...

Beyond-Quantum Modeling of Question Order Effects and Response Replicability in Psychological Measurements Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Do Spins Have Directions? Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The standard Bloch sphere representation has been recently generalized to describe not only systems of arbitrary dimension, but also their measurements, in what has been called the extended Bloch representation of quantum mechanics. This model, which offers a solution to the longstanding measurement problem, is based on the hidden-measurement interpretation of quantum mechanics, according to which the Born rule results from our lack of ...
