Teachers' Work, 2021 Achievement data from New Zealand secondary schools suggest that students from lower socio-economic communities have fewer opportunities to engage with complex content in subject English.

Human Preferences and Risky Choices [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 There are different views on what preferences for risks are and whether they are indicators of stable, underlying generic cognitive systems. Preferences could be conceived as an attitude toward a set of properties of context, memory, and affect – a gage of how much uncertainty one is willing to tolerate.

Motivating risky choices increases risk taking. [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, Psychology, and Economics, 2021 Abstract We study the impact of the mode of cognition on risk taking. In an online experiment we ask participants to make a simple decision involving risk. In the control group no manipulation is made, while in the treatment group we exogenously manipulate the mode of cognition by requiring subjects to write down a text that motivates their ...

Are risky choices actually guided by a compensatory process? New insights from FMRI. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The dominant theories about risky decision-making assume that decision conflicts are solved by a compensatory process involving a trade-off of probability against payoff, but it is unclear whether these theories actually represent the events that occur ...

Biased confabulation in risky choice [PDF]
Cognition, 2020 When people make risky decisions based on past experience, they must rely on memory. The nature of the memory representations that support these decisions is not yet well understood. A key question concerns the extent to which people recall specific past episodes or whether they have learned a more abstract rule from their past experience.

Eye Movements in Risky Choice [PDF]
Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, 2015 AbstractWe asked participants to make simple risky choices while we recorded their eye movements. We built a complete statistical model of the eye movements and found very little systematic variation in eye movements over the time course of a choice or across the different choices.

Confidence in risky value-based choice [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021 Risk engenders a phenomenologically distinct experience from certainty, often driving people to behave in ostensibly irrational ways, and with potential consequences for our subjective sense of confidence in having made the best choice. While previous work on decision confidence has largely focused on ambiguous perceptual decisions or value-based ...
