Neural antecedents of social decision-making in a partner choice task

Neural antecedents of social decision-making in a partner choice task.

Experiments in financial decision-making point to two complementary processes that encode prospective gain and loss preceding the choice to purchase consumer goods. These processes involve the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and the right anterior insula, respectively. The current experiment used functional MRI to investigate whether these regions served a similar function during an analogous social d...

Neural correlates of decision making on a gambling task.

Individual differences in affective decision making were examined by recording event-related potentials (ERPs) while 74 typically developing 8-year-olds (38 boys, 36 girls) completed a 4-choice gambling task (Hungry Donkey Task; E. A. Crone & M. W. van der Molen, 2004). ERP results indicated: (a) a robust P300 component in response to feedback (punishment vs. reward outcomes), (b) anticipation ...

Multi-attribute decision-making in individual and social choice

This paper provides an analysis of individual and social decision criteria for alternatives that are composed of several attributes. We derive additive and multiplicative criteria for individual decision-making with new axioms and apply these criteria to obtain new justifications of known social choice rules with a bargaining interpretation, namely, the generalized utilitarian and Nash social c...
