Are risky choices actually guided by a compensatory process? New insights from FMRI. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Neural correlates of visual attention during risky decision evidence integration

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
Value-based decision-making is presumed to involve a dynamic integration process that supports assessing the potential outcomes of different choice options.

Eye Movements in Risky Choice [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Biased confabulation in risky choice [PDF]

open access: yesCognition, 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.

Risky Choices

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of 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. This article examines this phenomenon by drawing on Foucault’s notion of governmentality and considers how a context of simultaneously increased autonomy and ...

Deconstructing neural predictors of risky choice. [PDF]

open access: yesPNAS Nexus
Abstract To survive and thrive, animals must navigate risk by anticipating and avoiding potential losses while approaching potential gains. Although researchers have leveraged neuroimaging to predict risky choices in humans, consensus on unitary versus distinct underlying neural and psychological mechanisms remains elusive.

Identifying Resource-Rational Heuristics for Risky Choice

open access: yes, 2022
Perfectly rational decision-making is almost always out of reach for people because their computational resources are limited. Instead, people may rely on computationally frugal heuristics that usually yield good outcomes.

The continuous and changing impact of affect on risky decision-making

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Affective experience has an important role in decision-making with recent theories suggesting a modulatory role of affect in ongoing subjective value computations.

The role of context in risky choice [PDF]

open access: yesBehavioural Processes, 2011
Human choice behavior was assessed in a concurrent-chain schedule, where two equal initial links (IL) each led to a distinct terminal-link (TL). One TL was associated with a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement, while the other was associated with a bi-valued mixed ratio schedule of reinforcement, whose arithmetic mean equaled the Fixed TL schedule ...

Reward context determines risky choice in pigeons and humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Whereas humans are risk averse for monetary gains, other animals can be risk seeking for food rewards, especially when faced with variable delays or under significant deprivation.
