Salience driven value integration explains decision biases and preference reversal.
Human choice behavior exhibits many paradoxical and challenging patterns. Traditional explanations focus on how values are represented, but little is known about how values are integrated. Here we outline a psychophysical task for value integration that can be used as a window on high-level, multiattribute decisions. Participants choose between alternative rapidly presented streams of numerical...
متن کاملThe Value of Information is driven by the Intensity of Preference
According to previous research, the value of information about a risky decision does not seem to depend in any consistent or predictable fashion on the features of the decision problem. For instance, the relationship between value of information and the degree of risk aversion can be non-monotonic, seemingly counterintuitive in some cases. This paper shows that value of information obeys a simp...
متن کاملCaloric restriction and its mimetics
Caloric restriction is the most reliable intervention to prevent age-related disorders and extend lifespan. The reduction of calories by 10-30% compared to an ad libitum diet is known to extend the longevity of various species from yeast to rodents. The underlying mechanisms by which the benefits of caloric restriction occur have not yet been clearly defined. However, many studies are being con...
متن کاملAldehyde dehydrogenase and ethanol preference in mice.
The aldehyde dehydrogenases from livers of the inbred mouse strains C57BL/6J, DBA/ZJ, and the F1 generation of the cross between these strains (C57BL/6J X DBA/2 J) have been purified over 60-fold. Alcohol dehydrogenase activity is not present in the purified enzyme preparation. Enzyme preparations from both strains and from the F1 cross specifically require NAD but can oxidize a variety of alde...
متن کاملLow caloric value of ethanol itself increases alveolar bone loss in ligature-induced periodontitis in male rats.
This study aimed at morphometrically evaluating the influence of variable caloric values of ethanol consumption on alveolar bone loss in periodontitis in male rats. Thirty-six male rats were randomized into four groups of nine rats each, as follows: Test group A (low) - rats were fed an ethanol-containing liquid diet (ethanol representing 22% of total caloric value); Control group A -rats were ...
