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 …

Beyond discrete-choice options
While decision theories have evolved over the past five decades, their focus has largely
been on choices among a limited number of discrete options, even though many real-world …

Value-based attention but not divisive normalization influences decisions with multiple alternatives
S Gluth, N Kern, M Kortmann, CL Vitali - Nature human behaviour, 2020 - nature.com
Violations of economic rationality principles in choices between three or more options are
critical for understanding the neural and cognitive mechanisms of decision-making. A recent …

Dopamine regulates decision thresholds in human reinforcement learning in males
Dopamine fundamentally contributes to reinforcement learning, but recent accounts also
suggest a contribution to specific action selection mechanisms and the regulation of …

Linking confidence biases to reinforcement-learning processes.
N Salem-Garcia, S Palminteri, M Lebreton - Psychological Review, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
We systematically misjudge our own performance in simple economic tasks. First, we
generally overestimate our ability to make correct choices—a bias called overconfidence …

Cognitive control as a multivariate optimization problem
A hallmark of adaptation in humans and other animals is our ability to control how we think
and behave across different settings. Research has characterized the various forms …

Social norms shape visual appearance: Taking a closer look at the link between social norm learning and perceptual decision-making
M Germar, VH Duderstadt, A Mojzisch - Cognition, 2023 - Elsevier
One of the most fundamental questions in social psychology is whether norms can change
individuals' minds by shaping the visual appearance of stimuli. This question was first raised …

Test–retest reliability of reinforcement learning parameters
It has recently been suggested that parameter estimates of computational models can be
used to understand individual differences at the process level. One area of research in …

A new model of decision processing in instrumental learning tasks
Learning and decision-making are interactive processes, yet cognitive modeling of error-
driven learning and decision-making have largely evolved separately. Recently, evidence …
