Dissociating sensory from decision processes in human perceptual decision making
A key question within systems neuroscience is how the brain translates physical stimulation into a behavioral response: perceptual decision making. To answer this question, it is important to dissociate the neural activity underlying the encoding of sensory information from the activity underlying the subsequent temporal integration into a decision variable. Here, we adopted a decoding approach...
متن کاملDomain general mechanisms of perceptual decision making in human cortex.
To successfully interact with objects in the environment, sensory evidence must be continuously acquired, interpreted, and used to guide appropriate motor responses. For example, when driving, a red light should motivate a motor command to depress the brake pedal. Single-unit recording studies have established that simple sensorimotor transformations are mediated by the same neurons that ultima...
متن کاملPerceptual Learning and Decision-Making in Human Medial Frontal Cortex
The dominant view that perceptual learning is accompanied by changes in early sensory representations has recently been challenged. Here we tested the idea that perceptual learning can be accounted for by reinforcement learning involving changes in higher decision-making areas. We trained subjects on an orientation discrimination task involving feedback over 4 days, acquiring fMRI data on the f...
متن کاملThe Phantom Decoy Effect in Perceptual Decision-making 1 RUNNING HEAD: The Phantom Decoy Effect in Perceptual Decision-making The Phantom Decoy Effect in Perceptual Decision-making
A phantom decoy is an alternative that is superior to another “target” option, but is unavailable at the time of choice. In value-based decisions involving phantom decoys (e.g., consumer choices), individuals often show increased preference for the similar, inferior target option over a non-dominated competitor alternative. Unlike value-based decisions that are driven by subjective goals, perce...
متن کاملPosterior Probability Matching and Human Perceptual Decision Making
Probability matching is a classic theory of decision making that was first developed in models of cognition. Posterior probability matching, a variant in which observers match their response probabilities to the posterior probability of each response being correct, is being used increasingly often in models of perception. However, little is known about whether posterior probability matching is ...
