Chance and Rationality.
English, Justin; Allison, James
Psychological Review, v100 n3 p535-45 Jul 1993
A model is presented that demonstrates that a random response to external constraint can produce results similar to those predicted by more complex models. Behavior that appears rational, optimal, or adaptive may truly be a random response to external constraint. Predictions based on this model may provide appropriate null hypotheses. (SLD)
