There is growing interest in diffusion models to represent the cognitive and neural processes
of speeded decision making. Sequential-sampling models like the diffusion model have a …

Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the number of studies using evidence-
accumulation models (such as the drift diffusion model, DDM) in the fields of psychology and …

There are few behavioral effects as ubiquitous as the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT). From
insects to rodents to primates, the tendency for decision speed to covary with decision …

Economic choice behavior entails the computation and comparison of subjective values. A
central contribution of neuroeconomics has been to show that subjective values are …

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

The gradual and noisy accumulation of evidence is a fundamental component of decision-
making, with noise playing a key role as the source of variability and errors. However, the …

How do we make decisions when confronted with several alternatives (eg, on a supermarket
shelf)? Previous work has shown that accumulator models, such as the drift-diffusion model …

Preference-based decisions are essential for survival, for instance, when deciding what we
should (not) eat. Despite their importance, preference-based decisions are surprisingly …

Do people intuitively favour certain actions over others? In some dual-process research,
reaction-time (RT) data have been used to infer that certain choices are intuitive. However …

Speed-accuracy trade-off is an intensively studied law governing almost all behavioral tasks
across species. Here we show that motivation by reward breaks this law, by simultaneously …
