{"pk":30095,"title":"Exploring Dynamic Decision Making Strategies withRecurrence Quantification Analysis","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Aggregate statistics, such as percentage of choices, drive manyinsights about sequential behavior in decision making re-search. However, aggregation leaves usable information andpotential insights unexamined. Here, we introduce the useof recurrence plots (RP) and recurrence quantification anal-ysis (RQA) to explore individual choice sequences and de-termine generalized patterns of decision making strategies ina dynamic decision task. We illustrate the insights that RPsand RQAs reveal in a data set collected in a past study in-volving a dynamic, binary choice task (McCormick et al., inpreparation). Patterns of recurrence reveal multiple, distin-guishable, individual choice patterns among participants whowere equally successful in adapting to the dynamic environ-ment. We discuss how RQA of choice behavior can augmentour understanding of decision strategies when paired with tra-ditional aggregate assessments.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Dynamic decision making; Recurrence quantifi-cation analysis; Choice sequences; Decision strategies; Visualanalytics"}],"section":"Poster Session 3","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6fj218hh","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Erin","middle_name":"N.","last_name":"McCormick","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Leslie","middle_name":"M.","last_name":"Blaha","name_suffix":"","institution":"Air Force Research Laboratory","department":""},{"first_name":"Cleotilde","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gonzalez","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30095/galley/19949/download/"}]}
