Theory Change in Cognitive Neurobiology: The Case of the Orbitofrontal Cortex. [PDF]
ABSTRACT How do theories of the functions of parts of the brain change? I argue that computational hypotheses help explain the nature of theorizing in cognitive neurobiology. I will focus on the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a frontal region of the brain implicated in an array of cognitive functions.

Psychological Value Theory: Predicting Initial Romantic Partner Choice From a General-Purpose, Computational Cognitive Model of Value-Based Choice. [PDF]
Abstract Mate value is theorized to be a key driver of romantic partner choice, yet the cognitive mechanism underlying romantic partner choice remains poorly understood. Here, we assess whether initial romantic partner choice can be predicted by a general‐purpose, computational cognitive model of value and choice.

Early Life Stress Affects Human Decision Making by Increasing Expectations of Volatility. [PDF]
ABSTRACT People learn most effectively when they can flexibly modify strategies to accommodate environmental changes. Here, we explore how chronic early life stress influences the ways individuals weight and prioritize new information when making decisions. To do so, we examined the choices of 11–16‐year‐old children in a reward learning task. Children

Neural correlates of choosing alcohol over a palatable food reward in humans. [PDF]
The study examined brain correlates to alcohol versus snack choices in light and heavy drinkers. Participants completed a task where they earned points for alcohol or snack rewards, with point values manipulated to be equal or to favor one. Both groups showed sensitivity to the relative cost of alcohol, replicating prior findings.

Amount and probability attributes were represented in the superior parietal lobule with similar neural activation pattern. Further, this region also involves to the valuation of the probabilistic rewards. Abstract Several studies have examined the neural substrates of probabilistic decision‐making, but few have systematically investigated the neural ...

Trustee strategies, politicization and de‐delegation: The case of the European Central Bank
Abstract This article shows how the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced the risk of politicization and de facto de‐delegation despite experiencing contestation. During the euro area crisis and the coronavirus emergency the ECB's monetary policy measures have been widely praised for their effectiveness. Even though the ECB is an independent trustee that

Bid outcome processing in Vickrey auctions: An ERP study
Abstract Online retailers often sell products using a socially competitive second‐price sealed‐bid auction known as a Vickrey auction (VA), an incentivized demand‐revealing mechanism used to elicit players' subjective values. The VA presents a situation of risky decision‐making, which typically implements value processing and a loss aversion mechanism.

Reinforcement learning: A brief guide for philosophers of mind
Abstract In this opinionated review, I draw attention to some of the contributions reinforcement learning can make to questions in the philosophy of mind. In particular, I highlight reinforcement learning's foundational emphasis on the role of reward in agent learning, and canvass two ways in which the framework may advance our understanding of ...
