Top-Down Attentional Processing in Decision-Making: From Choices Biases to Computational Mechanisms

Friday, March 8, 2019 · Paris, France

Experimental Psychology

The symposium examines the critical role of top-down and attentional processes in accounting for a variety of puzzling choices phenomena (from decoy-effects to risk and confirmation-biases), which appear in a variety of decision domains. The talks explore the mediating processes and mechanisms (information-search, value-integration, inhibition) and their adaptive value.
