There is growing interest in diffusion models to represent the cognitive and neural processes
of speeded decision making. Sequential-sampling models like the diffusion model have a …

Rewards are crucial objects that induce learning, approach behavior, choices, and
emotions. Whereas emotions are difficult to investigate in animals, the learning function is …

Functional correspondences between deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) and the
mammalian visual system support a hierarchical account in which successive stages of …

There are few behavioral effects as ubiquitous as the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT). From
insects to rodents to primates, the tendency for decision speed to covary with decision …

Sequential sampling models assume that people make speeded decisions by gradually
accumulating noisy information until a threshold of evidence is reached. In cognitive …

The concept of attention has a prominent place in cognitive psychology. Attention can be
directed not only to perceptual information, but also to information in working memory (WM) …

Gradual accumulation of evidence is thought to be fundamental for decision-making, and its
neural correlates have been found in several brain regions,,,,,,,. Here we develop a …

Researchers have benefited from characterizing evidence-based decision making as a
process involving sequential sampling. More recently, sequential sampling models have …

Summary" Degree of certainty" refers to the subjective belief, prior to feedback, that a
decision is correct. A reliable estimate of certainty is essential for prediction, learning from …

A decision is a commitment to a proposition or plan of action based on information and
values associated with the possible outcomes. The process operates in a flexible timeframe …
