Keywords: utility

Abstract:

Utility is deeply intertwined with the human decision-making process. However,
because it is recessive, it is often difficult to measure directly. In this paper, we first
introduce the utility-related hypothesis, then we introduce a model to explain the
human decision-making process that fits the existing hypothesis, and propose some
improvements based on cognitive cost theory. We conjecture the process by which
humans learn the utility of others.Then we introduce the current general approach
to learning utilities and point out some of the problems with this approach. Finally,
we propose a prediction mechanism for the possible future decisions of others.
