Review text

The author presents an equivalence result between expected utility theory and a modified version of case-based decision theory. Case-based decision theory was proposed and axiomatized, for reasoning in psychology and artificial intelligence. Also it is considered as a descriptive theory of human behavior, because a decision maker remembers similar situations to the current problem and uses them to help solve it. In this sense the decision maker satisfies rather than optimizes.
