Abstract We explore the effects of chief executive officers’ (CEOs’) personal dominance—an idiosyncratic character trait strongly associated with a desire for influence and control—on two fundamental organizational design decisions: CEO’s span control (1) her delegation responsibilities as reflected in appointment operating officer (COO) (2). Linking three original measures CEO dominance based ...

First published June 10, 2015; doi:10.1152/jn.00184.2015.—Neuronal recordings and lesion studies indicate that key aspects of economic decisions take place in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Previous work identified in this area three groups of neurons encoding the offer value...

Bias in perceptual decisions comes to pass when the advance knowledge colluded with the current sensory evidence in support of the final choice. The literature on decision making suggests two main hypotheses to account for this kind of bias: internal bias signals are derived from (a) the residual of motor response-related signals, and (b) the sensory information residues of the decisions that w...

Attending to a location shortens the perceptual latency of stimuli appearing at this location (perceptual latency priming). According to attentional explanations, perceptual latency priming relies on the speeded transfer of attended visual information into an internal model. However, doubts about the attentional origin have repeatedly been raised because efforts to minimize response bias have b...

We investigated the relationships between investment decision making and hindsight bias. Economic studies consider the agent’s foresight perspective only, without taking into account the hindsight bias possible effects in the decision-making process. We studied the subject’s overall perceived error by focusing on the causal relations between the estimate and memory errors and by analysing his c...
