Adolescent development of value-guided goal pursuit
Adolescents are challenged to orchestrate goal-directed actions in increasingly independent
and consequential ways. In doing so, it is advantageous to use information about value to …

Anticipating cognitive effort: roles of perceived error-likelihood and time demands
Why are some actions evaluated as effortful? In the present set of experiments we address
this question by examining individuals' perception of effort when faced with a trade-off …
