A Decision Making Model Based on Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypothesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a computational decision making model is presented based on the Somatic Marker Hypothesis. The use of the model is illustrated for the domain of fighter pilot decision making. Hereby, simulation runs have been performed upon this scenario, and the results thereof have been formally verified based upon properties inspired on Damasio’s Hypothesis.

Two Myths about Somatic Markers
Research on patients with damage to ventromedial frontal cortices suggests a key role for emotions in practical decision making. This field of investigation is often associated with Antonio Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypothesis—a putative account of the mechanism through which autonomic tags guide decision making in typical individuals. Here we discuss two questionable assumptions—or ‘myths’—surr...
متن کاملModelling a Fighter Pilot’s Intuition in Decision Making on the Basis of Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypothesis
Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypothesis” (Damasio, 1994) provides a neuro-cognitive account on how humans manage to solve complex decision problems in a relatively efficient way. Damasio proposes that specific centers in the brain, which relate to feeling certain body states resulting from emotional responses on a situation, generate so-called ‘Somatic Markers’ that help to make a selection of viab...
متن کاملModelling the Emergence of Group Decisions Based on Mirroring and Somatic Marking
This paper introduces a neurologically inspired computational model for the emergence of group decisions. The model combines an individual decision making model based on Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypothesis with mutual effects of group members on each other via mirroring of emotions and intentions. The obtained model shows how this combination of assumed neural mechanisms can form an adequate ba...
متن کاملYou Can't Play the Iowa Gambling Task with Mother Nature and Win
The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) was developed as a test of Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypothesis, which hypothesizes that emotion plays a role in decision-making. The IGT is now widely used to assess the role of emotion in decision-making in clinical populations. However, although Damasio’s experimental results using the IGT were consistent with the Somatic Marker Hypothesis, there is no direct evid...
متن کاملMemory and Emotion in the Gambling Task: The Case for Dissociable Functions
A recent matter of debate in the cognitive sciences concerns the role played by emotions in decision making. Bechara et al. (1998) and Turnbull et al. (2005) have argued that making choices involves processes that can be double dissociated from working memory and that are independent of executive functions. These results have been interpreted on the basis of Damasio’s (1994) Somatic Marker Hypo...
