Here's a short interview with Ido Erev, the great behavioral scientist at the Technion, from whom I learned a lot about learning:
Here is his closing comment:
"When I started studying the effect of experience, in the 90s, I asked several famous researchers why they have stopped studying this effect. Here are some of the answers that affected me the most (as I remember them): Duncan Luce: Now that I am old, I am more interested in my own mistakes. In particular, I try to understand why I exhibit the Allais paradox. Herb Simon: I got more reinforcements from studying bounded rationality. Amos Tversky: It is clear that if you hit subjects with a 5Kg “feedback hammer” they will learn to be rational. I want to study what people learn before they arrive at the lab. Alvin E. Roth: There is no good answer, let's study it."
