Choice processes in multialternative decision making
We study how the mechanisms of choice influence preferences when animals face more than 2 alternatives simultaneously. Choice mechanisms can be hierarchical (if alternatives are assigned to categories by their similarity and choice is between categories) or simultaneous (if options enter the choice process individually, each with its own value). The latter, although simpler, can lead to counter...
متن کاملMultialternative decision field theory: a dynamic connectionist model of decision making.
The authors interpret decision field theory (J. R. Busemeyer & J. T. Townsend, 1993) as a connectionist network and extend it to accommodate multialternative preferential choice situations. This article shows that the classic weighted additive utility model (see R. L. Keeney & H. Raiffa, 1976) and the classic Thurstone preferential choice model (see L. L. Thurstone, 1959) are special cases of t...
متن کاملApplication of Voting Geometry to Multialternative Choice
This paper presents an application of voting geometry to individual decision making. We demonstrate that a number of decision anomalies can arise as a natural consequence of the aggregation of preferences of different neural systems. We present a proof of existence of a set of voting procedures that can account for the attraction effect, the similarity effect and the compromise effect, and prov...

متن کاملDecision Making Processes and Outcomes
The primary aim of this study was to examine the contributions of individual characteristics and strategic processing to the prediction of decision quality. Data were provided by 176 adults, ages 18 to 93 years, who completed computerized decision-making vignettes and a battery of demographic and cognitive measures. We examined the relations among age, domain-specific experience, working memory...
