Irrational choice and the value of information [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2015
AbstractIrrational decision making in humans and other species challenges the use of optimality in behavioural biology. Here we show that such observations are in fact powerful tools to understand the adaptive significance of behavioural mechanisms. We presented starlings choices between probabilistic alternatives, receiving or not information about ...
