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 …

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 …

When experts are immersed in a task, do their brains prioritize task-related activity? Most
efforts to understand neural activity during well-learned tasks focus on cognitive …

Computational modeling is now ubiquitous in psychology, and researchers who are not
modelers may find it increasingly difficult to follow the theoretical developments in their field …

The study of decision making spans such varied fields as neuroscience, psychology,
economics, statistics, political science, and computer science. Despite this diversity of …

If perception corresponds to hypothesis testing (Gregory,); then visual searches might be
construed as experiments that generate sensory data. In this work, we explore the idea that …

When we learn a new motor skill, such as playing an approaching tennis ball, both our
sensors and the task possess variability. Our sensors provide imperfect information about …

In this article, the authors consider optimal decision making in two-alternative forced-choice
(TAFC) tasks. They begin by analyzing 6 models of TAFC decision making and show that all …

Traditionally the object of economic theory and experimental psychology, economic choice
recently became a lively research focus in systems neuroscience. Here I summarize the …

We show that while a primate chooses between two reaching actions, its motor system first
represents both options and later reflects selection between them. When two potential …
