Classical studies suggest that high-level cognitive decisions (eg, choosing between
financial options) are suboptimal. In contrast, low-level decisions (eg, choosing where to put …

Success on many tasks depends on a trade-off between speed and accuracy. In a novel
variant, a speed-accuracy trade-off with sample-based decisions in which both speed and …

The uncanny valley (UV) effect captures the observation that artificial entities with near-
human appearances tend to create feelings of eeriness. Researchers have proposed many …

Human randomness perception is commonly described as biased. This is because when
generating random sequences humans tend to systematically under-and overrepresent …

Although e-mail interfaces have not changed much in the past decade, how we manage our
inbox has changed a lot, as a result of the growing number of messages we receive (The …

Human high-level cognitive decisions appear sub-optimal (Kahneman and Slovic, 1982,
Kahneman and Tversky, 1979). Paradoxically, perceptuo-motor decisions appear optimal, or …

In daily life, unconscious choices guide many of our on-going actions. Such choices need to
be made quickly, because the options change as the action progresses. We confirmed that …

When learning about a single topic in natural reading environments, readers are confronted
with multiple sources varying in the type and amount of information. In this situation, readers …

Perfectly rational decision making is almost always out of reach for people because their
computational resources are limited. Instead, people may rely on computationally frugal …
