Abstract
We introduce a conceptual model for reaching group decisions Our model extends a wellknown singleagent cognitive model the recognitionprimed decision RPD model The RPD model includes a recognition phase and an evaluation phase Group extensions of the RPD model applicable to a group of RPD agents have been considered in the literature however the proposed models do not formalize how distributed and possibly inconsistent information can be combined in either phase We show how such information can be utilized by aggregating it using a specific social choice method namely judgment aggregation Our model is applicable to hierarchical groups of agents containing at least one RPD agent
