Two prescriptive approaches have evolved to aid human decision making: just in time interventions that provide support as a decision is being made; and just in case interventions that educate people about future events that they may encounter so that they are better prepared to make an informed decision when these…

There is growing recognition of the essential role of sensorimotor processes as not just a supporter of the cognitive aspects of decision making, but rather as a foundation for all the coordinated physical and mental activities that go into how we make decisions. We illuminate concepts and methods for examining…

Decision-making behavior is studied in many very different fields, from medicine and economics to psychology and neuroscience, with major contributions from mathematics and statistics, computer science, AI, and other technical disciplines. However the conceptualization of what decision-making is and methods for…

This article examines how three types of experience-personal, related others, and unrelated others-influence decision-making. We present the complexities and nuances in using these experiential sources to suggest that personal experience is preferred to the other two sources. We discuss the implications of this…

'Simon P. Kelly'] Sequential sampling models have provided a dominant theoretical framework guiding computational and neurophysiological investigations of perceptual decision-making. While these models share the basic principle that decisions are formed by accumulating sensory evidence to a bound, they come in many…

DECISIONS AND HOW THEY ARE MADE In the wider sense, decision making is embedded in the problem-solving process and its many stages ([6]; [13]). In the narrow sense, decision making is understood as the ability to select one of several alternatives and to act accordingly ([10]). Previous research has often focused on…

Executive function is thought to be the coordinated operation of multiple neural processes and allows to accomplish a current goal flexibly. The most important function of the prefrontal cortex is the executive function. Among a variety of executive functions in which the prefrontal cortex participates, decision-making…

(1) Value computation: The first process involves the computation of value for both choice alternatives. This computation facilitates a comparative process, allowing the decision maker to identify and pursue the option with greatest expected value (Samuelson, ). Value computation is further essential in triggering the…

The experience of emotion has a powerful influence on daily-life decision making. Following Plato’s description of emotion and reason as two horses pulling us in opposite directions, modern dual-system models of decision making endorse the antagonism between reason and emotion. Decision making is perceived as the…

A brain region known as the hippocampus is required when people assess different options before making a value-based choice.

Dual-process approaches of decision-making examine the interaction between affective/intuitive and deliberative processes underlying value judgment. From this perspective, decisions are supported by a combination of relatively explicit capabilities for abstract reasoning and relatively implicit evolved domain-general…

I take a decision-making approach to consider ways of addressing the “unresolved and dramatic problems in the world”. Traditional approaches to good decision-making are reviewed. These approaches reduce complex decisions to tradeoffs between magnitudes of probabilities, and outcomes in which the quantity and precision…

'Bradley M. Okdie'] Decision-making is an executive function, tapping into cognitive, emotional, and personality-based components. This complexity, and the varying operational definitions of the construct, is reflected in the rich array of behavioral decision-making tasks available for use in research and clinical…

Following the rationale of the aforementioned studies on Drosophila, we examine the extent to which human choice behavior involves variability as the prerequisite of free will. In the two experiments, we instructed participants to make the “same” type of decisions repeatedly. The decisions are adapted from Tversky and…

Intelligence evolved to cope with situations of uncertainty generated by nature, predators, and the behavior of conspecifics. To this end, humans and other animals acquired special abilities, including heuristics that allow for swift action in face of scarce information. In this article, I introduce the concept of…

Decision-making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision-making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision-making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms. To do so, we introduce the Continual…

This is an opinion article on the special research topic now turned into an e-book called “[Decision-Making Experiments under a Philosophical Analysis: Human Choice as a Challenge for Neuroscience]().” As the first editor of the issue I want to briefly comment on each of the articles highlighting its achievements and…
