Advances in modeling learning and decision-making in neuroscience
AGE Collins, A Shenhav - Neuropsychopharmacology, 2022 - nature.com
An organism's survival depends on its ability to learn about its environment and to make
adaptive decisions in the service of achieving the best possible outcomes in that …

Filling the gaps: Cognitive control as a critical lens for understanding mechanisms of value-based decision-making
While often seeming to investigate rather different problems, research into value-based
decision making and cognitive control have historically offered parallel insights into how …

Rational use of cognitive resources in human planning
Making good decisions requires thinking ahead, but the huge number of actions and
outcomes one could consider makes exhaustive planning infeasible for computationally …

Visual attention modulates the integration of goal-relevant evidence and not value
When choosing between options, such as food items presented in plain view, people tend to
choose the option they spend longer looking at. The prevailing interpretation is that visual …

A dynamic computational model of gaze and choice in multi-attribute decisions.
X Yang, I Krajbich - Psychological Review, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
When making decisions, how people allocate their attention influences their choices. One
empirical finding is that people are more likely to choose the option that they have looked at …

Fixation patterns in simple choice reflect optimal information sampling
Simple choices (eg, eating an apple vs. an orange) are made by integrating noisy evidence
that is sampled over time and influenced by visual attention; as a result, fluctuations in visual …

The elusiveness of context effects in decision making
Contextual features influence human and non-human decision making, giving rise to
preference reversals. Decades of research have documented the species and situations in …

Humans actively sample evidence to support prior beliefs
No one likes to be wrong. Previous research has shown that participants may underweight
information incompatible with previous choices, a phenomenon called confirmation bias. In …

Attentional economics links value-modulated attentional capture and decision-making
Effective decision-making involves multiple steps to reduce a nearly limitless set of available
choices to a final selection. The attention system plays a critical early role in this process by …

Trading mental effort for confidence in the metacognitive control of value-based decision-making
DG Lee, J Daunizeau - elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Why do we sometimes opt for actions or items that we do not value the most? Under current
neurocomputational theories, such preference reversals are typically interpreted in terms of …
