    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Real cognitive agents are bounded in their information processing.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Both memory and reasoning capacities of real agents are limited.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Idealized rational agents in classical decision theory are defined precisely by their capacity for complete preference orderings over all possible outcomes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The claim conflates empirical limitations of actual humans with conceptual constraints on rational agency as a theoretical construct.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Bounded rationality describes a departure from the normative ideal, presupposing that the ideal of full representation is coherent and theoretically tractable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Leibniz and subsequent rationalists held that finite minds can grasp infinite structures through recursive rules, not exhaustive enumeration.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A chess-playing agent need not enumerate all game states if it possesses a finite generative procedure that implicitly determines all positions, as Chomsky's competence-performance distinction suggests.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Besides variations in preferences and beliefs, a third crucial aspect of players is their styles of information processing, decision making, and reasoning. Real cognitive agents are bounded in their information processing, as both their memory and reasoning capacities are limited. In particular, players may not be able to represent the entire game they are in, nor reason until the end of the game. This phenomenon of short sight has been studied in Grossi and Turrini (2012) and Turrini (2016). Mo
