Navigating conflict is integral to decision-making, serving a central role both in the subjective
experience of choice as well as contemporary theories of how we choose. However, the lack …

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 …

Within decisions, perceived alternatives compete until one is preferred. Across decisions,
the playing field on which these alternatives compete evolves to favor certain alternatives …

Individuals' risk attitudes are known to guide choices about uncertain options. However, in
the presence of others' decisions, these choices can be swayed and manifest as riskier or …

Investigating the bases of inter-individual differences in risk-taking is necessary to refine our
cognitive and neural models of decision-making and to ultimately counter risky behaviors in …

We study the preference for strategic uncertainty when subjects play matching pennies and
coordination games. The scanned subject has the option to 'play', in which case both receive …

Research indicating that decision makers often distort new information to favor nascent
preferences has focused primarily on riskless choice rather than risky choice. In addition, the …

Individual differences in attitudes to risk (a taste for risk, known probabilities) and ambiguity
(a tolerance for uncertainty, unknown probabilities) differentially influence risky decision …

We document a robust dynamic inconsistency in risky choice. Using a unique brokerage
dataset and a series of experiments, we compare people's initial risk-taking plans to their …

We examine how bottom-up (or stimulus-driven) and top-down (or goal-driven) processes
govern the distribution of attention in risky choice. In three experiments, participants chose …
