A neural pathway for nonreinforced preference change

T Schonberg, LN Katz - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2020 - cell.com
How is value processed in the brain to inform decision making? A plethora of studies
describe how preferences are shaped by experience with external reinforcements. While …

Humans actively sample evidence to support prior beliefs

P Kaanders, P Sepulveda, T Folke, P Ortoleva… - Elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org

decision modelling work with large choice sets, despite their prevalence in everyday life …

Gaze-dependent evidence accumulation predicts multi-alternative risky choice behaviour

F Molter, AW Thomas, SA Huettel… - PLoS computational …, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Choices are influenced by gaze allocation during deliberation, so that fixating an alternative
longer leads to increased probability of choosing it. Gaze-dependent evidence accumulation …

Monkeys exhibit human-like gaze biases in economic decisions

SM Lupkin, VB McGinty - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
In economic decision-making individuals choose between items based on their perceived
value. For both humans and nonhuman primates, these decisions are often carried out while …

To covet what we see: Autistic traits modulate the relationship between looking and choosing

N Hedger, B Chakrabarti - Autism Research, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Behavioral studies indicate that autistic traits predict reduced gaze toward social stimuli.
Moreover, experiments that require participants to make an explicit choice between stimuli …

Goals and information processing in human decisions

P Sepulveda Delgado - 2023 - discovery.ucl.ac.uk
We do not make decisions in the void. Every day, we act in awareness of our context,
adjusting our objectives according to the situations we find. Operating effectively under …

[PDF][PDF] Decomposing economic choices with drift-diffusion models

Many decisions arise from a dynamic process of information accumulation and comparison.
Thus, to fully understand decision making, we must decompose the choice process into its …
