Probability Weighting and Cognitive Ability
Management Science, 2022 Probability weighting is a major concept for accommodating systematic departures from expected utility theory. We examine the relation between probability weighting and cognitive ability with two experiments: one recruiting subjects with a large ...

Feedback Influences Discriminability and Attractiveness Components of Probability Weighting in Descriptive Choice Under Risk [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Our understanding of the decisions made under scenarios where both descriptive and experience-based information are available is very limited. Underweighting of small probabilities was observed in the gain domain when both description and experience were

Cognitive biases as Bayesian probability weighting in context [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionHumans often exhibit systematic biases in judgments under uncertainty, such as conservatism bias and base-rate neglect. This study investigates the context dependence of these biases within a Bayesian framework.MethodsForty-eight participants

Normalized Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting with Neural Network Predictions [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 The estimation of average treatment effect (ATE) as a causal parameter is carried out in two steps, where in the first step, the treatment and outcome are modeled to incorporate the potential confounders, and in the second step, the predictions are ...

Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex plays causal role in probability weighting during risky choice [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 In this study, we provide causal evidence that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) supports the computation of subjective value in choices under risk via its involvement in probability weighting.

Self-Distancing Reduces Probability-Weighting Biases
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 We have abundant evidence that people exhibit biases in weighting probability information. The current study aims to examine whether self-distancing would reduce these biases.
