Abstract
Early life adversity (ELA) has far-reaching consequences on wellbeing. We probe how ELA affects the cognitive computations that underlie decision-making, a critical component of wellbeing. Results show ELA-exposed adolescents are less sensitive to returns (but not risks), indiscriminately making risky decisions across return values, even when disadvantageous to do so.
