{ "pk": 27254, "title": "How the Mind Exploits Risk-Reward Structures in Decisions under Risk", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "In many natural domains, risks and rewards are inversely re-lated (Pleskac & Hertwig, 2014). We sought to understandhow people might use this relationship in choosing amongrisky gambles. To do so we, manipulated risk-reward struc-tures of monetary gambles to be either negatively or positivelycorrelated, or uncorrelated. After substantial exposure to theseenvironments, participants completed a speeded choice taskamong non-dominated gambles. Eye-tracking data from thistask suggests that participants often shifted their attention tomainly one attribute in the correlated conditions, in which therisk-reward relationship was present. This was an adaptivestrategy that resulted in a similar proportion of expected-valuemaximizing choices, compared to a more compensatory pro-cessing strategy.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "risk-reward relationship; decisions under risk; at-tention; noncompensatory processing; adaptive cognition" } ], "section": "Posters: Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9p57k8z6", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Christina", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Leuker", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Max Planck Institute for Human Development", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Timothy", "middle_name": "J.", "last_name": "Pleskac", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Max Planck Institute for Human Development", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Thorsten", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Pachur", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Max Planck Institute for Human Development", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Ralph", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hertwig", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Max Planck Institute for Human Development", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2017-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27254/galley/16890/download/" } ] }
