ON THE POSSIBILITY THAT WE THINK IN A QUANTUM MECHANICAL MANNER: AN EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF EXISTING QUANTUM INTERFERENCE EFFECTS IN COGNITIVE ANOMALY OF CONJUNCTION FALLACY

We discuss the celebrated elaboration on Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour that was formulated by von Neumann and Morgenstern in 1944. It assumes the rationality of individual decisions in Humans. We add discussion on Tvesky and Kahneman who, in their Prospect Theory, identified instead for the first time the presence of cognitive anomalies in our mental operations. In particular the human thought and our mental operations violate rationality and does not correspond to classical, consistent and logical rules when in conjunction fallacy they violate a fundamental law of probability that a conjunction cannot be more probable than any of its constituents. It is also discussed that quantum mechanics well may represent a theory of cognitive processes, and that the existence of quantum interference effects in mental operations of the thought may explain conjunction fallacy that instead results a cognitive anomaly in the consistent framework of rules of classical probability theory. We perform an experiment of conjunction fallacy on 25 normal subjects and actually discover the existence of quantum interference effects in such cognitive dynamics. Therefore we conclude that conjunction fallacy does not
