Individual Differences in Risky Decision-Making Among Seniors Reflect Increased Reward Sensitivity
Increasing age is associated with subtle but meaningful changes in decision-making. It is unknown, however, to what degree these psychological changes are reflective of age-related changes in decision quality. Here, we investigated the effect of age on latent cognitive processes associated with risky decision-making on the Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART). In the BART, participants repetitively ...
متن کاملIndividual Differences in Gaze Dynamics in Risky Decision-making
In risky decision-making, expected utility (EU) theory is widely used to examine people's risk attitude and choice behavior. However, it is unknown how risk attitude relates to attention and information search. In this paper, we explore the relationship between risk attitude (as measured by a variant of EU) and eye movement patterns (which serve as a proxy for attention and information search)....
متن کاملRisky decision making among adolescents
In this report, we analyze adolescent risk-taking from a behavioral decision-making perspective, with respect to the following questions: •Why is adolescent risky decision making important? •What is rational, adaptive, or good decision-making for adolescents (i.e., normative approaches)? •What are the main explanatory models of adolescent risk taking? •What are the key data (i.e., those data th...
متن کاملGender Differences in Decision-Making 1 Gender Differences in Reward Sensitivity and Information Processing during Decision-Making
Gender differences in reward sensitivity and information processing were examined in two studies using a dynamic decision-making task. In Experiment 1, the optimal strategy involved forgoing an option that provided larger immediate rewards in favor of one yielding larger delayed rewards. In Experiment 2, the optimal strategy was to select the option that provided larger immediate rewards becaus...
متن کاملDecision-making Strategies and Performance among Seniors.
Using paper and pencil experiments administered in senior centers, we examine decision-making performance in multi-attribute decision problems. We differentiate the effects of declining cognitive performance and changing cognitive process on decision-making performance of seniors as they age. We find a significant decline in performance with age due to reduced reliance on common heuristics and ...
