Tractable falsifiability

Gradwohl, Ronen; Shmaya, Eran - 2013

We propose to strengthen Popper's notion of falsifiability by adding the requirement that when an observation is inconsistent with a theory, there must be a short proof of this inconsistency. We model the concept of a short proof using tools from computational complexity, and provide some...

Tractable Falsifiability

Gradwohl, Ronen; Shmaya, Eran - Center for Mathematical Studies in Economics and … - 2013

We propose to strengthen Popper's notion of falsifiability by adding the requirement that when an observation is inconsistent with a theory, there must be a "short proof" of this inconsistency. We model the concept of a short proof using tools from computational complexity, and provide some...

The Empirical content of theories in judgment and decision making: Shortcomings and remedies

Glockner, Andreas; Betsch, Tilmann - In: Judgment and Decision Making 6 (2011) 8, pp. 711-721

According to Karl Popper, we can tell good theories from poor ones by assessing their empirical content (empirischer … Gehalt), which basically reflects how much information they convey concerning the world. ``The empirical content of a … experience.'' Two criteria to evaluate the empirical content of a theory are their level of universality (Allgemeinheit) and …
