Collegial decision making based on social amplification leads to optimal group formation.
Group-living animals are often faced with choosing between one or more alternative resource sites. A central question in such collective decision making includes determining which individuals induce the decision and when. This experimental and theoretical study of shelter selection by cockroach groups demonstrates that choices can emerge through nonlinear interaction dynamics between equal indi...
متن کاملOptimal Social Decision Making
How can computers help ordinary people make collective decisions about real-life dilemmas, like which restaurant to go to with friends, or even how to divide an inheritance? This requires the fusion of two fields: economics, which studies how people derive utility from such decisions and the incentives at play, and computer science, which informs the design of real-world computing systems that ...

متن کاملGroup Decision-Making on an Optimal Stopping Problem
We consider group decision-making on an optimal stopping problem, for which large and stable individual differences have previously been established. In the problem, people are presented with a sequence of five random numbers between 0 and 100, one at a time, and are required to choose the maximum of the sequence, without being allowed to return to earlier values in the sequence. We examine gro...
متن کاملOn optimal decision-making in brains and social insect colonies.
The problem of how to compromise between speed and accuracy in decision-making faces organisms at many levels of biological complexity. Striking parallels are evident between decision-making in primate brains and collective decision-making in social insect colonies: in both systems, separate populations accumulate evidence for alternative choices; when one population reaches a threshold, a deci...
