Abstract

Individuals living in neighborhoods marked by high concentrated disadvantage appear less precise in their decisions for obtaining resources during a patch-foraging task. However, when in a deprived task-environment relative to a neighbor’s, all participants, regardless of real-world disadvantage, take from their neighbor to meet their own resource needs.
