Depression is linked to deficits in cognitive control and a host of other cognitive impairments
arise as a consequence of these deficits. Despite of their important role in depression, there …

When making decisions, people tend to shift their attention back and forth between stimuli,
choosing options that they look at more overall and immediately before their responses …

Modeling human cognition is challenging because there are infinitely many mechanisms
that can generate any given observation. Some researchers address this by constraining the …

The dilemma between information gathering (exploration) and reward seeking (exploitation)
is a fundamental problem for reinforcement learning agents. How humans resolve this …

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

People's decisions and judgments are disproportionately swayed by improbable but
extreme eventualities, such as terrorism, that come to mind easily. This article explores …

Sensory information encoded by humans and other organisms is generally presumed to be
as accurate as their biological limitations allow. However, perhaps counterintuitively …

Neural mechanisms of perceptual decision making have been extensively studied in
experimental settings that mimic stable environments with repeating stimuli, fixed rules, and …

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 …

Revealed preference is the dominant approach for inferring preferences, but it is limited in
that it relies solely on discrete choice data. When a person chooses one alternative over …
