Cognitive Theories

Cognitive theories examine the mental models, heuristic processing, risk assessment heuristics, and information-filtering mechanisms that shape entrepreneurial judgment. Spanning ambiguity tolerance, hubris and overconfidence biases, prospect framing, and mental schema formation, these frameworks investigate how founders evaluate incomplete market signals and make decisive commitments amid radical uncertainty.
