For example, many people prefer not to make choices about their ...
متن کاملNeuroeconomics, Rationality and Preference Formation: Methodological Implications for Economic Theory
Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience research suggest that different preference orderings and choices may emerge depending on which brain circuits are activated. This contradicts the microeconomic postulate that one complete preference ordering provides sufficient information to predict choice and behaviour. Amartya Sen argued before how the emergence of a complete preference ordering may ...
متن کاملPartitioning default effects: why people choose not to choose.
Default options exert an influence in areas as varied as retirement program design, organ donation policy, and consumer choice. Past research has offered potential reasons why no-action defaults matter: (a) effort, (b) implied endorsement, and (c) reference dependence. The first two of these explanations have been experimentally demonstrated, but the latter has received far less attention. In t...
متن کاملConsumer Preference Uncertainty:
This paper investigates consumer preference uncertainty in multiattribute judgment. We investigate preference uncertainty as a function of stimulus characteristics such as attribute conflict (discrepancy among the attributes of an alternative) and attribute extremity (very high or low attribute values). Following the behavioral results reported by Fischer, Luce and Jia (2000) and the simulation...

Previously published results from neonatal brain evoked response potential (ERP) experiments revealed different brain responses to the single word "baby" depending on whether it was recorded by the mother or an unfamiliar female. These results are consistent with behavioral preference studies in which infants altered pacifier sucking to contingently activate recordings of the maternal vs. an un...
