Amos Tversky (March 16, 1937 - June 2, 1996) was a pioneer of
cognitive science, a longtime collaborator of Daniel Kahneman, and a key figure in the discovery of systematic human
cognitive bias and handling of risk. With Kahneman, originated prospect theory to explain
irrational human economic choices. He received his Doctorate from the University of
Michigan in 1965, and later taught at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, before moving to Stanford University. In 1984 he
was a recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship.
He also collaborated with Thomas Gilovich and Paul Slovic in several key papers.
