Preference reversals in ethicality judgments of medical treatments. [PDF]
PLoS ONEIn medical ethics, there is often a tradeoff between maximizing treatment efficacy and alleviating patient suffering. We adapt methods from consumer behavior research to examine whether ethicality judgments of medical treatments that vary on these ...

Intertemporal preference reversals are associated with early activation of insula and sustained preferential processing of immediate rewards in visual cortex [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Decision makers tend to give magnified significance to immediately available rewards which leads to intertemporal preference reversals, which is a form of self-control failure. The objective of the present study was to understand the cognitive and neural

Metacognitive deficits are associated with lower sensitivity to preference reversals in nicotine dependence [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Deficits in impulse control belong to the core profile of nicotine dependence. Smokers might thus benefit from voluntarily self-restricting their access to the immediate temptation of nicotine products (precommitment) in order to avoid impulse control ...

Inducing preference reversals in aesthetic choices for paintings: Introducing the contrast paradigm. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Understanding what leads people to reverse their choices is important in many domains. We introduce a contrast paradigm for studying reversals in choices-here between pairs of abstract paintings-implemented in both within-subject (Experiment 1; N = 320 ...

Easier comparison of bets in evaluation does not reduce classical preference reversals: Evidence against a context-dependent explanation. [PDF]
PLoS ONEIn preference reversals, subjects express different rankings over a set of alternatives depending on how preferences are elicited. In classical reversal tasks, for instance, subjects often select a safe bet over a risky one when given a choice between ...

Preference reversals in decision making under risk are accompanied by changes in attention to different attributes [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2012 Recent work has shown that visual fixations reflect and influence trial-to-trial variability in people’s preferences between goods. Here we extend this principle to attribute weights during decision making under risk.

It will be worth it, in the end: a model of naturalistic intertemporal choice [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntertemporal choices, which involve consequences spread over time, often display a bias toward short-term rewards, which was recognized in ancient Greek philosophy as “akrasia.” This bias is nowadays often modelled via hyperbolic discounting models ...
