A Hierarchical Bayesian Model of Human Decision-Making on an Optimal Stopping Problem
We consider human performance on an optimal stopping problem where people are presented with a list of numbers independently chosen from a uniform distribution. People are told how many numbers are in the list, and how they were chosen. People are then shown the numbers one at a time, and are instructed to choose the maximum, subject to the constraint that they must choose a number at the time ...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Cognitive Threshold Model of Human Decision Making on Different Length Optimal Stopping Problems
In optimal stopping problems, people are asked to choose the maximum out of a sequence of values, under the constraint that a number can only be chosen when it is presented. We present a series of threshold models of human decision making on optimal stopping problems, including a new hierarchical model that assumes individual differences in threshold setting are controlled by deviations or bias...
متن کاملGroup Decision-Making on an Optimal Stopping Problem
We consider group decision-making on an optimal stopping problem, for which large and stable individual differences have previously been established. In the problem, people are presented with a sequence of five random numbers between 0 and 100, one at a time, and are required to choose the maximum of the sequence, without being allowed to return to earlier values in the sequence. We examine gro...
متن کاملHierarchical Bayesian Modeling of Human Decision-Making Using Wiener Diffusion
Wiener diffusion accounts of human decision-making are among the most successful and best developed formal models in the psychological sciences. We reconsider these models from a Bayesian perspective, using graphical modeling, and Markov Chain Monte-Carlo methods for posterior sampling. By analyzing seminal data from a brightness discrimination task, we show how the Bayesian approach offers sev...
متن کاملThreshold Models of Human Decision Making on Optimal Stopping Problems in Different Environments
Optimal stopping problems require people to choose from a sequence of values, under the constraint that they cannot return to an earlier option once it is rejected. We study how people solve optimal stopping problems when the distribution of values they must choose from is not uniform, but is constructed to contain many high values or many low values. We present empirical evidence that people a...
