Filling the gaps: Cognitive control as a critical lens for understanding mechanisms of value-based decision-making

R Frömer, A Shenhav - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2022‏ - Elsevier
While often seeming to investigate rather different problems, research into value-based
decision making and cognitive control have historically offered parallel insights into how …

Suboptimality in perceptual decision making

D Rahnev, RN Denison - Behavioral and brain sciences, 2018‏ - cambridge.org
Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

Scale (in) variance in a unified diffusion model of decision making and timing.

P Simen, K Vlasov, S Papadakis - Psychological review, 2016‏ - psycnet.apa.org
Weber's law is the canonical scale-invariance law in psychology: when the intensities of 2
stimuli are scaled by any value k, the just-noticeable-difference between them also scales by …

Global gain modulation generates time-dependent urgency during perceptual choice in humans

PR Murphy, E Boonstra, S Nieuwenhuis - Nature communications, 2016‏ - nature.com
Decision-makers must often balance the desire to accumulate information with the costs of
protracted deliberation. Optimal, reward-maximizing decision-making can require dynamic …

Decisions are expedited through multiple neural adjustments spanning the sensorimotor hierarchy

NA Steinemann, RG O'Connell, SP Kelly - Nature communications, 2018‏ - nature.com
When decisions are made under speed pressure,“urgency” signals elevate neural activity
toward action-triggering thresholds independent of the sensory evidence, thus incurring a …

Comparing fixed and collapsing boundary versions of the diffusion model

C Voskuilen, R Ratcliff, PL Smith - Journal of mathematical psychology, 2016‏ - Elsevier
Optimality studies and studies of decision-making in monkeys have been used to support a
model in which the decision boundaries used to evaluate evidence collapse over time. This …

Caution in decision-making under time pressure is mediated by timing ability

S Miletić, L van Maanen - Cognitive Psychology, 2019‏ - Elsevier
The time available to inform decisions is often limited, for example because of a response
deadline. In such circumstances, accurate knowledge of the amount of time available for a …

Not all speed-accuracy trade-off manipulations have the same psychological effect

D Katsimpokis, GE Hawkins, L van Maanen - Computational Brain & …, 2020‏ - Springer
In many domains of psychological research, decisions are subject to a speed-accuracy trade-
off: faster responses are more often incorrect. This trade-off makes it difficult to focus on one …

A behavioral characterization of the drift diffusion model and its multialternative extension for choice under time pressure

C Baldassi, S Cerreia-Vioglio… - Management …, 2020‏ - pubsonline.informs.org
In this paper, we provide an axiomatic foundation for the value-based version of the drift
diffusion model (DDM) of Ratcliff, a successful model that describes two-alternative speeded …

Inter‐and intra‐individual coupling between pupillary, electrophysiological, and behavioral responses in a visual oddball task

S LoTemplio, J Silcox, KD Federmeier… - …, 2021‏ - Wiley Online Library
Although the P3b component of the event‐related brain potential is one of the most widely
studied components, its underlying generators are not currently well understood. Recent …
