Predicting the knowledge–recklessness distinction in the human brain
(NAS, 2017-02-09)
Criminal convictions require proof that a prohibited act was performed in a statutorily specified mental state. Different legal consequences, including greater punishments, are mandated for those who act in a state of ...
Neural signatures of strategic types in a two-person bargaining game
(NAS, 2010-09-28)
The management and manipulation of our own social image in the minds of others requires difficult and poorly understood computations. One computation useful in social image management is strategic deception: our ability ...
Early childhood investment impacts social decision-making four decades later
(Nature Research, 2018-11-20)
Early childhood educational investment produces positive effects on cognitive and non-cognitive skills, health, and socio-economic success. However, the effects of such interventions on social decision-making later in life ...
Loss Aversion Correlates With the Propensity to Deploy Model-Based Control
(Frontiers, 2019-09-06)
Reward-based decision making is thought to be driven by at least two different types of decision systems: a simple stimulus–response cache-based system which embodies the common-sense notion of “habit,” for which model-free ...
Distinct contributions of the amygdala and parahippocampal gyrus to suspicion in a repeated bargaining game
(NAS, 2012-05-29)
Humans assess the credibility of information gained from others on a daily basis; this ongoing assessment is especially crucial for avoiding exploitation by others. We used a repeated, two-person bargaining game and a ...
Neural differences in self-perception during illness and after weight-recovery in anorexia nervosa
(Oxford, 2016-06-27)
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe mental illness characterized by problems with self-perception. Whole-brain neural activations in healthy women, women with AN and women in long-term weight recovery following AN were ...
Neural signature of fictive learning signals in a sequential investment task
(NAS, 2007-04-13)
Reinforcement learning models now provide principled guides for a wide range of reward learning experiments in animals and humans. One key learning (error) signal in these models is experiential and reports ongoing temporal ...
Computational Substrates of Norms and Their Violations during Social Exchange
(Society for Neuroscience, 2013-01-16)
Social norms in humans constrain individual behaviors to establish shared expectations within a social group. Previous work has probed social norm violations and the feelings that such violations engender; however, a ...
Sub-second Dopamine and Serotonin Signaling in Human Striatum during Perceptual Decision-Making
(CellPress, 2020-12-09)
Recent animal research indicates that dopamine and serotonin, neuromodulators traditionally linked to appetitive and aversive processes, are also involved in sensory inference and decisions based on such inference. We ...
Choosing Money over Drugs: The Neural Underpinnings of Difficult Choice in Chronic Cocaine Users
(Hindawi, 2014-08-14)
Addiction is considered a disorder that drives individuals to choose drugs at the expense of healthier alternatives. However, chronic cocaine users (CCUs)who meet addiction criteria retain the ability to choose money in ...
