摘要
Rahnev & Denison (R&D) argue against normative theories and in favor of a more descriptive "standard observer model" of perceptual decision making. We agree with the authors in many respects, but we argue that optimality (specifically, reward-rate maximization) has proved demonstrably useful as a hypothesis, contrary to the authors' claims.
