Moral Decision Making with ACORDA
This paper shows how moral decisions can be drawn computationally by using ACORDA, a working implementation of prospective logic programming. ACORDA is employed to model moral dilemmas, as they are able to prospectively look ahead at the consequences of hypothetical moral judgments. With this knowledge of consequences, moral rules are then used to decide the appropriate moral judgments. The who...

For instance, individuals who are considered to be moral exemplars tend to place more importance on moral traits and values when defining their self-concepts (Colby & Damon, 1995). This paper takes the next step of examining individual variation in a construct highly...
متن کاملHippocampal Damage Increases Deontological Responses during Moral Decision Making
Complex moral decision making is associated with the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) in humans, and damage to this region significantly increases the frequency of utilitarian judgments. Since the vmPFC has strong anatomical and functional links with the hippocampus, here we asked how patients with selective bilateral hippocampal damage would derive moral decisions on a classic moral dile...

BACKGROUND Moral judgments depend on the integration of complex cognitive and emotional processes. Addiction is associated with core deficits in both cognitive and emotional processing, which may jointly lead to utilitarian biases in moral decision-making. METHODS We assessed 32 polysubstance dependent males and 32 non-drug using controls using a previously validated moral judgment task, incl...
