Are perceptuo-motor decisions really more optimal than cognitive decisions?
Human high-level cognitive decisions appear sub-optimal (Kahneman, Slovic, & Tversky, 1982; Kahneman & Tversky, 1979). Paradoxically, perceptuo-motor decisions appear optimal, or nearly optimal (Trommershäuser, Maloney, & Landy, 2008). Here, we highlight limitations to the comparison of performance between and within domains. These limitations are illustrated by means of two perceptuo-motor dec...
متن کاملAre Newcomb problems really decisions?
Richard Jeffrey long held that decision theory should be formulated without recourse to explicitly causal notions. Newcomb problems stand out as putative counterexamples to this ‘evidential’ decision theory. Jeffrey initially sought to defuse Newcomb problems via recourse to the doctrine of ratificationism, but later came to see this as problematic. We will see that Jeffrey’s worries about rati...
متن کاملAre women really more talkative than men?
Women are generally assumed to be more talkative than men. Data were analyzed from 396 participants who wore a voice recorder that sampled ambient sounds for several days. Participants' daily word use was extrapolated from the number of recorded words. Women and men both spoke about 16,000 words per day.
متن کاملDecoupling motor plans from perceptual decisions to investigate whether and when decisions are embodied.
Decision making is a crucial part of our life: we sense information from the environment and perform our motor response. However, "whether" and "when" decisions are embodied still needs to be fully elucidated. Neuroimaging data obtained by the disentanglement of perceptual decision from motor preparation revealed an increase in connectivity between inferior frontal cortex and sensory regions, a...
متن کاملBiases and optimality of sensory-motor and cognitive decisions.
I review a variety of behavioral studies directed at understanding how probability and value information is represented in motor and cognitive tasks. Subjects in (cognitive) decision-making tasks often misrepresent the frequency of rare events and typically fail to maximize expected gain. In contrast, subjects in mathematically equivalent movement tasks are generally found to be very good at ch...
