Amos Tversky was a pioneering cognitive psychologist whose work fundamentally changed our understanding of human judgment and decision-making. Often collaborating with Daniel Kahneman, he explored how we make choices and assess risk. His important works include Judgement Under Uncertainty, Choices, Values, and Frames, and The Essential Tversky.
