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 …

Reaction time is believed to be a good indicator of the speed and efficiency of mental
processes and is a ubiquitous variable in the behavioral sciences. Despite this popularity …

Cognition arises as a result of coordinated processing among distributed brain regions and
disruptions to communication within these neural networks can result in cognitive …

Simple reaction time (SRT), the minimal time needed to respond to a stimulus, is a basic
measure of processing speed. SRTs were first measured by Francis Galton in the 19th …

Psychological models of value-based decision-making describe how subjective values are
formed and mapped to single choices. Recently, additional efforts have been made to …

Current reinforcement-learning models often assume simplified decision processes that do
not fully reflect the dynamic complexities of choice processes. Conversely, sequential …

Working memory capacity is an important psychological construct, and many real-world
phenomena are strongly associated with individual differences in working memory …

Bayesian estimation has played a pivotal role in the understanding of individual differences.
However, for many models in psychology, Bayesian estimation of model parameters can be …

Senescence affects the ability to utilize information about the likelihood of rewards for
optimal decision-making. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging in humans, we …

Neural slowing is commonly noted in older adults, with consequences for sensory, motor,
and cognitive domains. One of the deleterious effects of neural slowing is impairment of …
