Computational Mechanisms for the Effect of Acetaminophen on Risky Decision-Making

Virtual

Oral · Behavioral Economics

This study examined the effect of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol®, on risky decision-making. Applying prospect theory model and sequential sampling model, we showed that acetaminophen increased risky decisions by reducing the valuation of losses and increasing innate preferences for risky options in females, but reversed effects in males.
