A PhD student in Theoretical Quantum Optics at ICFO. Alumnus of Physics and Mathematics at the University of Warsaw. Interested in quantum optics & quantum information, applied optics and mathematical modeling in psychology. Dedicated to education of gifted schoolchildren (as both tutor and organizer). In free time enjoys photography, hiking and psychology (esp. cognitive science).

Can one “understand” emotions, yet not “feel” them? This thing is know as Mary's room, when talking about senses (not feelings); but the problems are largely equivalent. |

Why is it easier to remember the correct response for problems with many options rather than just two? As a side not, computational analogues (esp. number of bits) can be very misleading when it comes to human mind. |

Why is it easier to remember the correct response for problems with many options rather than just two? The question seems to have nothing to do with long vs short term memory. |

For depression diagnoses, does one make a clear distinction between endogenous and exogenous causes of depression? +1 for a nice question, but I don't understand if you care for the distinction inside-outside or brain-mind. For example, does (lack of) performing psychical activity or exposure to sunlight count as your "exogenous" or "exogenous"? Most likely, most of the time causes are combined. However, I am very interesting in more solid findings. |

Performance of a group solving a cognitive task: How does it scale? @H.Muster Not exactly. I put some assumptions that don't need to hold in the general context, but are motivated by some particular experimental outcomes. So even for 2AFC task one can came with a more general model (however, personally I would like rather to test/focus on a particular example, than generalize it even further). |

Performance of a group solving a cognitive task: How does it scale? But anyway, thanks and +1 :). (Though I clarified in the question, that I am the most interested in low-level task; a grade for the total research output, being a complex process by itself, is hardly low-level.) |

Performance of a group solving a cognitive task: How does it scale? @H.Muster My paper (thx, btw) deals with a specific 2AFC task and gives only theoretical predictions (but two of co-authors are now doing experimental part). I'm interested if there is known scaling of efficiency any other low-level tasks (e.g. solving a word puzzle, solving a multiple choice test, signal detection, counting the number of blobs...). I am curious if there are experimental results that either are compatible with my results, or undermine it. |

Performance of a group solving a cognitive task: How does it scale? I am aware of that paper, and actually I like it very much (and had nice discussion with an author, and even used it as an example on academia.SE). However, scaling is quadratic/linear, depending on the group size. And discipline changes only critical group size, not the scaling properties (which may be more a subject of social interactions + some hidden factors correlating group size and a measure of performance). |

Perception of probability of being right @Speldosa Partly. I know what is signal detection theory; and actually the question was motivated by it. However, here I am not interested here not in the underlying theory but solely in belief that one is right vs real probability that one is right. But thanks for pointing to the paper (Plescak and Busemeyer) as it answers my question for a particular setting. |
